The Waukon softball team played its lightest schedule of the season thus far with just three games this past week. Those three games of this past week followed a pair of Saturday, June 7 contests at the North Fayette Valley Tournament in West Union that are featured in this week’s write-up and included a 6-3 loss to Turkey Valley and 17-0 loss in three innings to Class 2A ninth-rated Osage. The three Indian contests that followed during this past week were all played in Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) action at home, with the Tribe falling in all three by mercy-rule scores of 12-2 in six innings and 13-3 in four frames in a Tuesday, June 10 home doubleheader with New Hampton, and by a 14-1 final result in five innings to Charles City Thursday, June 12 in a game also played at home.
Currently holding a 2-10 season record that includes a 0-6 mark in Northeast Iowa Conference play, the Lady Indians were next scheduled to play at South Winneshiek Tuesday, June 17 and at Crestwood Thursday, June 19 before competing in the West Delaware Invitational both Friday and Saturday, June 20-21. They will then host Decorah Tuesday, June 24 before playing at New Hampton Thursday, June 26 and then hosting Starmont in a non-conference battle Friday, June 27.
