Entering the weekend already pacing the softball team on offense, co-captain Julia Schoenewald ’17 did not slow down against Rutgers.

The softball team started the season off with a bang, winning four of five games at the Winthrop Invitational last weekend.

Last year, the softball team was 2-3 and had already allowed 28 runs. But this year already feels different, said co-captain Julia Schoenewald ’17.

The incoming class will certainly play an important role: The current roster lists five first-years, four of whom will compete for starting spots.

A $5 million renovation to the baseball and softball fields will take place during summer 2016 and is slated to be finished by spring 2017.

Several softball players have left the team over the last three seasons after allegedly being bullied by Head Coach Katie Flynn.

Bruno (11-19, 5-1 Ivy) salvaged a single win in a four-game set at conference-leading Dartmouth.

Unfortunately for the Bears, two narrow losses and a blowout to Harvard all but ended their title aspirations.

Coming off of a scoreless loss to Princeton, the softball team looked to redeem itself this weekend in a pair of Ivy League doubleheaders.

Though the past week may not have resulted in the most desirable final scores for the women’s softball team, pitcher Katie Orona ’18 continued to impress.
