The Atlantic softball team steps on the diamond tonight for the first competition of the season with a road trip to Lenox. The Trojans have high expectations for the 2021 campaign coming off a 17-2 record in 2020.

The Trojans won the Hawkeye Ten Conference last season with an undefeated 10-0 mark. The Trojans got nipped in the Regional final last year by Creston and will be looking to try to earn another State trip this year.

First-Team All-Conference pitcher Olivia Engler will command the circle once again with Kennedy Goergen filling the back up role. Engler finished last year with a stellar 1.10 ERA and 134 strikeouts. Engler also was strong at the plate batting .471 with 32 hits including a team-leading 8 doubles. A wealth of strong hitters will follow Engler: Madison Botos (.447), Alyssa Derby (.426), Kennedy Goergen (.407), Lauren Nicholas (.397), Carloine Pellett (.383) and more.

The Trojans have just two senior departures to fill with McKenzie Waters in left field and Reagan Pellett at third base. Jada Jensen, Malena Woodward, and Ava Rush will all be key contributors once again.
