Softball hopes to bring success to next season
June 9, 2017
The girls’ softball team has had an incredible 2017 season. The team is archived by seven seniors who have created a strong bond over four years of playing together, record of 22-6.
The team is in a hard conference making their record that much more impressive.
After being predicted to go far the girls lost on May 26, ending their season. After making it to the sectional final, the girls lost to Old Tappan, getting down 5-0 in one inning.
The team has said and the chemistry from the friendships carries into the chemistry on the field.
“Our success is due to our positive attitudes and bond throughout the team” said sophomore Julia Vardiman.
The girls said they are willing to give their all for each and every member of the team every game.
The softball team spends almost every day of the week with each other. They have multiple games a week and when they are not playing in a game they are practicing. It is a dedicated group of girls who are open to getting better every day.
In the county tournament the girls made it to the final on Saturday May 20th. They played an extremely tough opponent, Mount Saint Dominic and lost by a score of 3-0.
“We focus on one game at a time,” junior Lily James said.
The girls spend the two hour game, focusing, giving all their time and energy to those moments on the diamond.
“Overall we had an incredible time. The girls really bonded and got along.
Looking back at the four years, we’ve accomplished a lot,” Coach Mondadori said. Although this season may unfortunately be over, the underclassmen say they are excited to prepare for their 2018 season.
