Behind City College’s South Gym, sounds of running, skidding and balls cracking are heard lingering in the air. On the field the sounds become more determined, disciplined and driven. A rigorous practice is taking place. These are the women of the City College Panthers Softball team.

“We’re 9 and 2 right now—we’re 9 wins and 2 losses,” says Head Coach Robert Maglione.

According to Maglione, the softball team is off to a promising start this season as the defending champions at the open conference Saturday March 13 and 14. However, practices have been difficult due to the heavy and sporadic weather this winter.

“I think we’re on the edge of being a very good team as we traditionally are around here. We have good pitching, [and] very good hitting, ”says Maglione.  “My feeling as a coach [is] if we can get some routine going where the rain doesn’t stop us… we’ll get into a good feel and once we get rolling we’ll be fine.”

Pitcher, and cosmetology student Courtney Allen says she is revved up for the season.
