business came couple good pitchers strikes threw took
Our pitchers came out and threw a couple of good games. They threw strikes and took (care) of business out there.
biggest good improved noticed played team
The biggest thing I noticed in Alicia was how well she played in the field. She's already a good hitter. But she really improved as an outfielder and for her to make the all-defensive team is really special.
adds coming couple emotion final game job last nice perfect senior settling situation team time tough
It was kind of a tough situation for Leah. She was coming off a perfect game the last time out. And it was senior day, which adds even more emotion to it. But she did a really nice job of settling down. And the team responded in the final couple of innings.
ball chance change compete fall forced injuries lost ourselves players proud season unusual year
It was kind of an unusual year. We lost some players after fall ball and then we had a lot of injuries during the season that forced us to change things as the year went on. But the most important thing for us was that we were still able to compete and give ourselves a chance to win. And I'm phenomenally proud about that.
arguably best division five iii pitcher pitchers softball
Their pitcher is arguably one of the best pitchers in Division III softball right now. She's one of five pitchers with 1,000 strikeouts.
chance couple games good hopefully next sign start win
We were pretty close. We had a lot of games that we had a chance to win and couldn't get over the hump. But that's a good sign and in the next couple of years, we'll hopefully start being able to win some of those games.
ball cut errors game hit mental physical playing second struggling
We hit the ball better (the second game). We're struggling playing defense. In the first game we had mental errors. In the second game we had physical errors, but we cut down on the mental errors. With enough repetitions, the physical errors should go down.
chance games gave good next nice people shore strongest time trying weeks
We had a good week. We're 7-7 now, and we got a chance to get a lot of games in with nice weather. I think this is the strongest up and down lineup we've ever had. Defensively we gave up a lot of unearned runs. We're trying people in new positions, and it was the first time outside. In the next two weeks we'll try to shore up the defense.
address ball hit next team ways
We didn't hit the ball well, there's no two ways about it. And that's something that we'll need to address as a team next season.

Adding Nordic skiing to our roster of sports is just one more way we are increasing the opportunities for Northland College students, as well as attracting new students. We've found the students who come to Northland thrive on outdoor sports, like skiing. Our location is a prime for skiers and we are really pleased to offer this competitive opportunity.
ahead ball behind best count defense plays putting sam throwing
Sam pitched very well today. She's at her best when she is throwing strikes, getting ahead in the count and putting the ball in play so the defense can make plays behind her. She did all those things today.
dug game hurt ourselves sam
Leah hurt her back before the game and went two innings. We then went to Sam but we dug ourselves a little hole.
early great injuries top watch
Leah had a great year. She had some injuries early and we had to kind of watch her a little bit. But by the end of the year, she was on top of her game.
chances country good played ranked second top
They're a good team. They're ranked in the top 20 in the country for a reason. In the first game, they just played better than we did. In the second game, we had some chances to do some things and we just couldn't get it done, which was a little frustrating.
