Key Players Lost: Our key losses from last year were Kaitlyn Stock and Emma Smith. These graduating seniors showed great leadership, experience, and skill, which can be challenging to fill. Especially with a younger team. However, we have some great players that will fill the gap in leadership this year.
Key Returning Players: We have 11 returning players and a new group of senior leaders. Our team will be lead by Marisa Maehrer, Peyton Hoffman, Grace Bauer, and Skyelar Horack. Marisa will be continuing her softball
career at Rosemont College. I am looking to my seniors to set the tone for the team both on and off the field. Their leadership will be crucial in guiding younger players this season. We have a strong junior class as well. I am expecting Kylee Snyder to have a great season similar to the numbers that she put up as a freshman.
Key Newcomers: What is very exciting about this season is that we have a new sophomore class of softball players which will bring a fresh burst of energy and talent to the team, these young ladies offer the potential for growth and success. We have four new sophomores and three returning
sophomores that we are very excited about.
But first, I should mention Addie Smith, sophomore pitcher, she will be leading the pitching staff this
season. Addie came on strong late last season and shut down some great teams. Early indications are that she will be even stronger this season and log a lot of innings for NL this season.
In fact all four pitchers are sophomores, which will give us some future stability. The new comers are Annalisa Douglass, Savannah Kast, Fiona Jones, and Kenzie Chruscial, all these players can play multiple positions which will provide a deep bench for us. We also have, I would argue one of the best catchers in district XI, Emily Gad, sophomore, she also stepped up late last season and did a great job. Last but not least is Tegan Simms, Star basket ball player for NL, looks to be ever better this year, again counting on her to make big contributions.
2025 Outlook: I look forward to leading this team this season, we have a great group of young ladies. As for the season. This season holds incredible promise, thanks to the depth and diversity of talent on our softball roster. With a strong group of seniors providing leadership and experience, the team has a solid foundation to tackle tough competition.
The addition of the new sophomore class brings energy and fresh perspectives, and they are eager to contribute which will be a significant asset. If everyone continues to work hard, support one another, and stay focused, this
team has the potential to achieve great success this season.
