Northeast Nodaway's softball team picked up two more wins last week and played some tough teams close this week as they are now up to three wins for the year.
The Bluejays needed to lick their wounds and regroup following last Tuesday's 18-2 loss to Jefferson; Jenny Seipel's triple in the fourth accounted for Northeast's only two tallies of the game. They bounced right back from that loss to beat North Nodaway 10-5. "We've improved so much since the beginning of the year," said Coach Hilary Loe. "Now, we need to keep getting better." Playing with a makeshift lineup, they were able to come away with their second win of the year and picked up a conference win as well.
Last weekend, Northeast traveled to Stanberry to play in the Stanberry Tournament. They went the distance against the highly touted Stanberry squad, but then got run-ruled against North Andrew. "We didn't quit and we kept our heads up, but we let them play their game instead of playing our game," said Loe. But Northeast picked up their third win of the year, a 10-6 win over Stanberry JV. She said that it was their best hitting performance of the year as they were able to get hitting up and down the lineup.
On Monday, Northeast traveled to Pattonsburg and lost 3-2 to a solid team. Dallis Coffelt pitched the game and only walked two batters. Defense was solid again Wednesday despite a 4-3 loss to Plattsburg, a much bigger school. That was an opening round loss in the North Andrew Tournament. "Dallis is not the fastest pitcher in the conference, but she is one of the most consistent and the other teams now have to earn their bases," said Coach Loe.
