This month's athlete spotlight goes to Megan Moore, a sophomore from Topeka, Kansas.
Megan has taken a leadership role on the young team, both at the plate and in the outfield.
According to head coach Tiffany Meyer, Moore stepped into the lead-off spot at the top of the batting order and has excelled there, going 7-16 with two home runs so far this season.
It looks to be an exciting year for the MCC-Maple Woods Monarchs softball team. A solid nucleus of players from last year are returning, promising new recruits are joining the team.
Head coach Tiffany Meyer, along with assistant coach Krista Cummings, will be focusing on fundamentals and team chemistry as the season kicks off in mid-February. The team has been practicing at the MCC-Maple Woods Sports Training Center all winter in preparation for their first game against cross-town rival Johnson County Community College.
With exceptional training and fitness facilities and proven coaching, the players will have every opportunity to excel in their sport. The team will play home games at Happy Rock Park, southeast of the Maple Woods campus.
“It’s going to be a great year,” says Coach Meyer. “Our players will experience plenty of competition and fun while improving their skills.”
