After not playing for quite a few days, the Lady Saints started a little slow Wednesday, Oct. 22, against Garden City. In front of an optimistic and support crowd at the Green House due to Dig Pink Night, a night raising funds and awareness for breast cancer, the Lady Saints found a way to knock off their rival for the 19th straight time.

A new player for the Lady Saints softball team is freshman Grace Petersen. Petersen is from Wheat Ridge, a suburb of Denver, in Colorado where she played at Holy Family High School.

Both her junior and senior years, Petersen was an All-Conference and All-Colorado pick.
The past week of competition for the Lady Saints has been a complete turn around from the previous weeks. With three wins and only one loss under their belts, Seward’s new record for the season is at standing of 18-12.
