The season may be officially over, but Panther softball had not only one but two players recognized by the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) as Athletes of the Week. Freshman Gintare Paskocimaite, a shortstop from Lithuania, and sophomore Katy Payne, a pitcher from Lexington, MO, each received this distinction.
With the recent National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) announcement of spring sports being canceled, that put an early halt to the Ellsworth Community College softball season.
The Iowa Community College Athetic Conference (ICCAC) has helped Panther softball kick off the season on a high note with their Athlete of the Week nomination for February 17-23. Sophomore righthander Katy Payne of Lexington, MI, earned the nomination for her performance against Simpson JV.
The Panthers have been picked by the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) softball coaches to finish the season 6th in the Region, but the team has other ideas.
