Lane was the only Public League team to win a state Regional Champsionship. (niksports photo)
Maine West 2
Lane Tech 0
This was supposed to be the year. We had the best player in the Public League in Daniella Torres. We had practically the entire team returning from last years state sectional finals team, we returned all of our pitchers, we brezzed through the Public League playoffs, we won our share against suburban opponents, and we were even state ranked. Despite having a great team with great players and great results, in girls softball it is so difficult to overcome a hot pitcher. Fortunately for Maine West their pitcher, Emily Ott, pitched a great game in a 2-0 shut out of Lane Tech in the Niles West Sectional Semi-Finals. Maine West also got two big rbi's from Michele Braun to end Lane's season.
Despite the loss, Lane can definitely hold their heads up high. Success to me is measured by heart, measured by comittment to excellence, and a work ethic second to none. The Lane tech girls, coaching, staff, and parents had all that and more this year.
Congratulations to the 2007-08 Lane Tech girls softball team on a wonderful season. This was a year!!
