In addition, sophomore pitcher Sara Schye returns. Schye broke nearly every single-season Lawrence pitching record last year and hopes to build on her success. Yesterday, Schye was named Midwest Conference Player of the Week, earning wins over both Carroll College and Edgewood College. Schye struck out 13 batters to one walk, allowing just two earned runs on five hits. The Vikings will rely on Schye and sophomores Cindy Prochnow and Angela Fink.
Fink is new to the team.
She sat out most of last season with an ankle injury. The team showed power that until recently has been uncharacteristic of the Vikings' offences. The softball team takes the field tomorrow and Saturday at the UW-Oshkosh tournament.
