Looking to rebound from last spring’s 2-10 league, 3-15 overall record, Medina is tuning up for the Niagara-Orleans softball campaign led by a large group of returnees.
That veteran contingent includes seniors Baileigh McAdoo (Catcher), Lorelei Sanders (Infield), Iyla Lilleby (Inf), Ki’Mani Poole (Outfield), Breanne Demmer (Inf/Of) and Taylor Frentz (Inf/Of); juniors Sophia Goyette (Inf/Of) and Eva Lacy (Inf/Of), sophomore Lila Class (Pitcher/Inf) and freshman Samantha Heschke (P/Inf).
Lilleby earned first team N-O All-League honors last spring and McAdoo was an Honorable Mention selection.
The Mustangs roster also has a trio of newcomers including junior Makenzie Alverez (Inf.) and sophomores Molly Cook (Inf/Of) and Natalie Herbert (P/Inf).
“We’re working hard to instill a detail-oriented approach to the game,” said new Mustangs Coach Annmarie Beutel. “We look forward to competing each and every time we step foot on the diamond.”
Medina is scheduled to tune-up for the April 10 N-O opener at Roy-Hart with a series of non league contests. The Mustangs are slated to host Kendall at 5 p.m. Monday, Holley at 4:45 Wednesday and Springville at 5 p.m. Thursday at Vets Park.
