Oakton Ready for 2006 Softball Season
After last season's respectable fourth-place finish in the Skyway Conference, and a surprise victory in postseason play, the Oakton Community College softball team enjoys strong momentum going into the 2006 campaign.
Second-year head coach Glen Watson and assistant Denise Hollis plan to build on that success by continuing to assemble a strong foundation for the program. Both coaches are focused on developing positive chemistry through leadership and teamwork, and providing support for each student-athlete.
Key newcomers adding depth, speed, power, and pitching to a solid veteran team include: Central Suburban League All-Conference infielder Amanda Kasdorf (Maine West); All-Chicago Metro player Robin Cavanaugh (Lane Tech); CSL All-Conference catcher Kathleen Zier (New Trier); infielder Mallory Matelli (Glenbrook South); outfielder Lacey Cowsky (Ridgewood); and infielder/outfielder Stefany Bernabe (Mather).
Hollis recruited talented outfielder Cynthia Crallie (Von Steuben) and outfielder JoAnna Fugate (Niles North) from the volleyball team for additional speed and intensity. Siobhan Mischke, a standout Maine South infielder, rounds out the talented freshmen.
This outstanding recruiting class joins All-Skyway Conference pitcher Carrie McCoy (Wheeling), outfielder Darcy Leslie (Mather), and infielder Christine Eberhardt (Mather). All-American infielder Susan Domenick (New Trier), returns along with Lindsay Parsill (Ridgewood), and captain Anna Domenick (New Trier).
Oakton's 2006 season opens March 12 - 17 at the Disney Spring Training Tournament in Orlando, Florida. The Lady Raiders are scheduled to play 10 games in just four days.
