Spencer, Ia (KICD) – The Spencer Tiger Softball team hopes for a solid re-load in 2024 despite graduating a lot of production from a strong 2023 campaign.

That is Spencer Head Coach Tara Hauschen.

Senior Olivia Huckfelt turned in an outstanding season in 2023, batting .534 with an OPS of 1.683 and 13 home runs. Huckfelt would be stepping in to a leadership role this year.

Spencer will have a deep pitching staff this year, and Coach Hauschen plans on using the trio to their full extent.

Shaylee Sutherland will likely be apart of the battery this year after a year away from catching. She wants to get off to a strong start offensively as well as get back into the Rythm behind the plate.

Estherville Lincoln Central is expected to pace the Lakes Conference again. Hauschen talked about where the Tigers fit in the picture.

Spencer opened up their season on May 20th against Okoboji. Their first week of action features a couple of back to back contests against Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley and MOC-Floyd Valley before traveling to a Tournament in Sioux City on the 25th.
