The JV softball team stepped onto Moor Field for their second Almont League game on April 15, winning the game with a 10-0 victory, with a preseason record of 8-1. After being League champions last year, they are anticipating yet another exciting year, aiming to claim their second consecutive League championship.

This was the first time the team played against the San Gabriel Matadors. Head Coach Cassie Vasquez wanted the girls to take pride as Lady Moors, and because it is their second league game, she especially wanted the girls to raise the standard high.

“Our second time playing against San Gabriel will be better because we’ll know what offense and defense we need, and we can compare the strategies used from last year,” said Vasquez.

Vasquez has been coaching for three years now. She teaches the girls exactly how she was taught in high school and college. According to Vasquez, the team can improve mainly on adjusting to hitting and pitching the ball. She notes that throughout the entire game, the team usually improves during the second inning.

“We have good team spirit and communication. I’m looking forward to the girls dominating the game and playing like they do during practice,” said second baseman Samantha Ryckman.

According to Beltran, the Lady Moors did a fairly decent job. She believes that the most important thing  they need to improve is on the way they bat, especially trying to hit the ball a little further.
