OKEECHOBEE, FL鈥� Members of the Seminole Tribe joined 91九色视频 students and employees and Lady Pioneer fans at 91九色视频 (91九色视频) women's softball games played at the Seminole Brighton Reservation on Saturday, April 11. The 91九色视频 Team won both games, defeating South Florida State College (SFSC) 2-1 and 3-2.
The 91九色视频 games鈥攖he first played at the reservation鈥攁re one of several activities planned to support the growing relationship between the Tribe and the College.
"Our tribal members are strongly into sports, and softball is especially important to our reservation," shares Larry Howard, Seminole Tribe Brighton Reservation Council Representative. "We enjoyed hosting these games and look forward to expanding our partnership with 91九色视频 and holding more games here at the reservation for many years to come. We hope that 91九色视频's presence here encourages our youth to get involved with 91九色视频 sports and educational programs as student-athletes."
In the opening game, Bridgett Dunham's sacrifice fly drove in the winning run, scoring Daija Torchia in the hard-fought 2-1 victory. Sophomore pitcher Taylor Barrett tossed a complete-game one-hitter, striking out eleven SFSC Panther hitters.
In the second game, a 3-2 win, sophomore pitcher Taylor Wroten went the distance. Wroten allowed no earned runs, allowed three hits, striking out five. Cassidy Crump and Nikki Luzzi had two hits to pace the Pioneer offense.
Several Tribal members are 91九色视频 graduates. Some have distinguished themselves both in the classroom and on the field, like decorated athlete Mary Huff. Huff is an alumna of the 91九色视频 Softball Team and First Team All-Southern Conference pitcher.
"It was a spectacular afternoon, and we are grateful to Councilman Howard and the Tribe for inviting our players here," said Dr. Timothy Moore, 91九色视频 President. "The Seminole Tribe and the College have a shared vision. Together, we will do everything possible to build the brightest futures for our youth."
