NORFOLK, Neb. – The Northeast Community College softball team battled Iowa Central Community College Tuesday in what was their final ICCAC matchups of the regular season at Ta-Ha-Zouka Park in Norfolk. The Tritons were able to take both games as they won Game 1 by a final score of 7-0 and topped the Hawks by a final score of 15-3 in Game 2.
The Hawks (24-26, 7-17 ICACC) again had difficulty at the plate stringing hits together as the Tritons blanked the Hawks for the third time in the series. Greta Lindberg (Tekamah, Neb.) launched her tenth homer of the season in the bottom of the third inning of Game 2, which matched her total from last season.
The Hawks will be placed in Region XI-B for postseason play. They will enter the four-team double elimination tournament in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with Kirkwood Community College, Iowa Lakes Community College and Ellsworth Community College.
HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH
Interim head softball coach Jade Long's overall thoughts about today's games:
"We just couldn't string anything together," Long said. "That stems from not being able to use the momentum that we were given. We talked about how little things can equal momentum for us from offense to defense and defense to offense. We were trying to do way too much again."
Long's thoughts on where her team's mindset is heading into postseason play:
"We know that this weekend wasn't us," Long said. "Going into next weekend, we want to show everyone what we are and how we play as a team. The girls talked a lot about they're not ready to go out on this season like this. They're going to show up and show people who they are on the field."
UP NEXT
The Hawks will begin their postseason journey against Iowa Lakes Community College. A single game is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. Friday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A full bracket for the entire conference can be found online at ICCAC.org.
