5/13/25 Softball Doubleheader: McDonell Lady Macks 9, Thorp 3, McDonell 10, Thorp 4

On the road for two against a conference opponent, the Lady Macks (12-7, 7-4 Western Cloverbelt Conference) faced off against the Cardinals (12-8, 6-5 WCC), hoping to make a push up the conference standings.

The Lady Macks jumped out to an early lead in the first contest and held on for the win, while in Game 2 it took a little longer for the bats to heat up, before a five-run sixth helped seal the victory and the sweep.

Sophomore pitcher Kelsey Bremness tallied 7 strikeouts in Game 1, while sophomore Rylie Christianson punched out 9 batters in Game 2. Christianson notched six hits on the day to lead the Lady Macks, and Christianson, sophomore Lizzy Leibrandt, and senior Avery Bowe each drove in three runs.

5/10/25 Softball Doubleheader: Chippewa Falls Lady Cardinals 15, Tomah 0 (4 innings); DC Everest 3, Chi-Hi 2

The Lady Cardinals (10-9, 8-1 Big Rivers Conference) played two at Casper on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, run-ruling Tomah (16-3, 9-0 Mississippi Valley Conference) in 4 innings before falling by a run to DC Everest (18-1, 9-0 Wisconsin Valley Conference).

In game one of the day, sophomore pitcher Violet McIlquham was nothing short of brilliant, hurling a 10-strikeout no-hitter in four innings, as the Lady Cards' bats also came alive, including a 4 RBI game for junior catcher Lauren Shepherd, who tallied her ninth home run of the season.

The second game was much tougher for Chi-Hi offensively, as they struck out 15 times while facing one of the best pitchers in the state, but junior pitcher Willa Risinger answered with a strong, 6-strikeout performance of her own to help keep the Cards in it, and a late rally in the 7th fell just short.
