Grafton Natives Earn Spots on Assumption College Softball Team

From Assumption Greyhound: The Assumption College Department of Athletics has announced that 20 student athletes have earned a coveted spot on the 2017 Assumption College Softball team. Local student athletes include:

Kendal Roy of Grafton (01519)

Amanda Voellings of Grafton (01519)

"It is always exciting for the challenge that a new season presents. We ended last season on a great note making it through to the second round of conference playoffs," said second-year head coach Katie Bettencourt. "I am excited to see how we grow from those experiences. We have a tough non-conference schedule that will prepare us for the battle in the NE-10. This schedule will help us get ready for the postseason. I know we can do it and it'll be fun to watch and see how everyone steps up to the challenge. We are excited to get the year going and to open the season in Florida in March."

Last season, the Hounds went 19-21 overall and 15-10 in conference play, earning them a spot in the Northeast-10 Tournament. Assumption hosted Merrimack and defeated the Warriors 3-2 to advance to the second round, where they were defeated by Le Moyne, ending the Hounds' season.
