Spokane Sasquatch women’s softball has their goal set on the title this year.

A rather daunting task, but the team is assured that it is something they can and will achieve this season.

The last time Spokane brought home the title was in 2015. CCS is in in the Northwest Athletic Conference or NWAC.

The team is working hard to come together as a unit to strive for the NWAC this year.

“I think work ethic is a really big part of the competition here,” said Erica Olsen, freshman catcher from Salt Lake City.

The team has been putting in the work to make sure they have the competitive edge this season. There are many incoming freshmen on the team, but this doesn’t appear to have had any effect on the team’s spirit. The youth of the team seems only to feed their drive toward making it a championship season.

“We’re going to win the NWAC again!” Olsen said.

The players on the team sound energetic while they talk in the dugout. With high expectations it appears as though they are ready to start making strides in the season. The competition this season looks to be a rather steep hurdle for the team to overcome. Many of the other teams in the conference are also coming into the season with coaching changes.

With the experience of head coach Lindsie Scholwinski and the eager enthusiasm of incoming freshmen players like Olsen, it is more than possible to see the team bring the title back to SFCC this season.

Scholwinski was an ace pitcher on the team during the 2015 season. Racking up an astounding 29-0 record, with a 0.81 ERA. She received NWAC player of the year honors.

Hopes around the CCS softball program this season are high.

CCS Athletic Director Ken Burrus in an interview with NWAC online  spoke of how coming into the season with coach Scholwinski has turned more than a few heads. He said he is excited for the team’s growth beneath the watch of head coach Scholwinski.

“Lindsie will be a great addition to the Sasquatch team,” Burrus said.
