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.

"One Final Farewell" (posted on May 2, 2012)

Hello again, Cougar Nation!

This week wrapped up the final week of Lady Cougar softball. We had a busy week this week playing six games. On Tuesday, we played Rio Grande and lost both games. On Wednesday, we had two makeup games against Huntington University. We fell in both games to Huntington. On Friday, we took the field for our last time against Marian. We played well the first game, but fell short. The second game we played awesome and won! We were able to end our season on a win beating Marian 4-2!

This season has been full of ups and down. If you were to look at our record, you would probably say we didn't have a good season. But if you talk to any girl on our team, I am sure she would tell you that this season was wonderful. We made new friends, built stronger relationships, watched our teammates grow, and laughed…. a lot!

Writing this final blog is a bittersweet moment for me. In three weeks, I will be graduating. I am no longer a softball player and soon will be a college graduate! Being a Lady Cougar softball player has changed my life. It has helped shape me into the person I am today! God blessed our team this year with 17 unique personalities that will never be forgotten! We have made memories that will last a lifetime!

Thank you for your support throughout this season and the last four years! Remember, don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!

Go Cougars and God bless!

MacKenzie
