5/26/26 Playoff Softball, WIAA Division 4 Regional Semi-Final: #1 McDonell Lady Macks 12, #9 Eau Claire Regis 1 (5 inn.)
Squaring off against Regis for the third time this season, the Lady Macks (19-6-1, 12-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) took advantage of early miscues by the Ramblers (1-17, 0-14 WCC), and jumped out to a lead they would hold for good.
Ella Amodt's took advantage of an error for an inside-the-park homer that scored three, and Claire Ruf hit a three-run shot in the second.
Junior pitcher Kelsey Bremness struck out four with no walks, looking calm and controlled despite the heat.

5/21/26 Baseball: Chippewa Falls 5, Menomonie 2
The five runs the Cards(20-3, 9-2) put up in the third proved to be all they needed in downing Menomonie(10-12. 4-8), 5-2, to win their 13th game in a row.
Sam Bresina pitched possibly his best game of the season in striking out five and walking none over 6 1/3 innings before Evan Weiler came in to get the final two outs and secure the save.

5/14/26 Softball: Stanley-Boyd 9, McDonell Lady Macks 4
In a winner-take-all battle for the conference crown, the Lady Macks (15-6-1, 12-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) grabbed two runs early against the Orioles (16-1, 13-1 WCC), but struggled to garner base runners during the remainder of the contest.
Stanley-Boyd broke through with a 5-run inning in the fourth to take the lead for good, and McDonell's late comeback bid was stymied.
Junior Lizzy Leibrandt laced a 2-run double in the first, for one of the Lady Macks' four hits on the night.

Battling with one of the top teams in their conference, the Lady Macks (15-5-1, 12-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference) went back and forth with the Blackhawks (16-6, 9-3 WCC), and withstood a late comeback in a marathon Game 1, walking it off in the 9th.
In Game 2, McDonell jumped out to several leads, but Bloomer chipped away to stay close, then exploded for six runs in the sixth to split the doubleheader and the season series.
Juniors Kelsey Bremness and Lizzy Leibrandt each totaled 5 hits on the day, while Bremness went all 9 innings in the circle in Game 1, striking out 6.

5/9/26 Softball: Tomah 2, Chippewa Falls Lady Cardinals 0; DC Everest 2, Chippewa Falls Lady Cardinals 1.
In a possible playoff preview, the Lady Cards (12-6) gave up a lone early run to the Timberwolves (13-3), and that proved to be the difference, as Chi-Hi struggled to garner baserunners against University of Wisconsin commit Anna Wall.
In the second game of the day, the Cardinals were able to get a few more aboard against the Evergreens, but could not capitalize, with a late homer by Everest proving to be the difference.
Against Tomah, senior pitcher Willa Risinger came into the game in relief in the third and proceeded to strike out a dozen Timberwolves, while junior pitcher Delaney Bero started her first game of the season against D.C. Everest and went the distance, striking out 11 along the way.

5/7/26 Softball: McDonell Lady Macks 6, Augusta 0
In a possible playoff preview, in Augusta against a state-ranked opponent, the Lady Macks (13-4, 11-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) grabbed two runs early against the Beavers (13-2, 10-0 Dairyland - Large Conference), and were able to hold their opponent at bay for the rest of the contest.
As both pitchers found their groove, offense was hard to come by, but fireworks in the fifth and seventh helped McDonell pull away for good.
Junior pitcher Kelsey Bremness not only twirled a complete game shutout, she also hit a pair of homers and drove in 5 runs. Freshman Taylan Hanson collected three hits from the leadoff spot, and also swiped three bases.
