Students who signed letters of intent with SCC included Maggie Groshong, pitcher from Cape Central High School; Niki Swafford, shortstop and third baseman from Fort Zumwalt North High School; Tanner Cotner, outfielder from Warrenton High School; Olivia Boyer, third baseman from Francis Howell High School; Brianna Schatz, catcher and outfielder from Webster Groves High School; and Lindsey Lewis, outfielder and catcher from Francis Howell Central High School.

“We are very excited about this group of fine student-athletes. As well as being enthusiastic about the game, these players are very talented,” said head SCC softball coach Michelle Patrico. “There is a good combination of speed and power that will add depth to the already solid team.” The Cougar softball team is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and is projected to fare well this season in the Midwest Community College Athletic Association’s (MCCAC) Region 16 District. 

“Not only are these women hard-workers on the field, but they will be successful in the classroom as well,” said Patrico. “They will bring a wealth of knowledge about the game to our program, and we cannot wait for them to put on the SCC uniform and really excel on the field.” 

Since its inception as a NJCAA-certified sport, the St. Charles Community College softball team has won multiple MCCAC championships. The Lady Cougars have also participated in the NJCAA Division I National Tournament, placing as high as seventh. Several SCC softball players have earned MCCAC All-Conference honors.
