Throughout the course of the 2012 season, MVNU senior outfielder MacKenzie Shaw will write a weekly blog about what is happening with the softball team.

"Final Homestand" (posted on April 24, 2012)

Hello again, Cougar Nation!

Last week was a short, but GREAT week for the Lady Cougar softball team! We didn't play until Thursday this week. Thursday afternoon we took on Grace College. We came out strong for the first game and won 3-2. Jill Wildermuth got the win for us on the mound and Haley Lewis got her first collegiate hit! We came out ready to play in the second game against Grace. We got another win over Grace 2-1, earning our third conference win of the season! Ashley Riffell picked up the win for us on the mound, while Morgan Wade hit the winning sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to end the game!

Our final week of the season will begin Tuesday as we take on Rio Grande at home beginning at 3 p.m. Wednesday will be the make-up day for our games that we missed this weekend at home starting at 2 p.m. against Hunington. On Thursday, we take on Notre Dame at home beginning at 3 p.m. as well. Our final games of the season will take place on Saturday as we play Marian with a start time of 1 p.m. Senior day ceremonies will take place between games on Saturday.

Speak of seniors, let me introduce you to my favorite class on the team - I guess I am a little biased! (:

Jenn Gulley is a senior exercise studies major from Lexington, Ohio. Jenn started out at first this season, but is now holding down centerfield for us. Her biggest fear is not being successful and bats. The song that best describes Jenn is Live Your Life by T.I. and Rihanna. Jenn's plans after graduation are to find a job working with little kids!

Meagan Stott is a psychology and sociology double major from Geneva, Ohio. Meagan is a member of our pitching staff. Meagan's biggest fear is spiders! The song that best describe her is Perceptions by The Beautiful Republic! After graduation Meagan plans to work at a church camp!

I am a senior outfielder from good ol' Mount Vernon, Ohio majoring in early childhood education. My biggest fears are snakes and needles! The song that best describes me is Stronger by Kelly Clarkson because tough times in my life have only made me stronger and made me want to fight that much harder! After graduation, I hope to find a teaching position and begin my career as a teacher that changes lives.
