Women's Softball Team Has Great Learning Experience

6/19/02

Head Coach Joanne Harrison went into the softball season with the idea that this would be a rebuilding year after last year's Region 19 title.  So she was gratified by the team's tremendous heart and effort, which produced a 12 – 6 record at mid-season.

Unfortunately the effort could not sustain itself as injuries and a lack of pitching hurt the Vikings in the second half of the season.  Their final record of 15 – 15 was just not enough to get them to the tournament this year.  But the women had a great learning experience – including the lesson that winning a title is not the only sign of a successful season.  There are also things like teamwork and camaraderie and this team had them in large measure.

A job well done to the 2002 squad: Michelle Yenchik, Katie Stefanidou, Amanda Friedman and Caitlin Torre, all of whom were named to the Region 19 and All-GSAC first teams, and Kristen Dombroski, Laura Stackhouse, Christy Fityere, Jazmin Fuschini, Crystal Kish, Atisha Fitch and Ayesha Fitchett.  Thanks to Assistant Coach Julie Ross.
