Feather River Softball Heading to Super Regional’s
Fremont CA. – Feather River College Softball was seeded as the #10 seed heading into this seasons regional playoffs. The Golden Eagles headed south to take on the #7 seeded Ohlone College Renegades and proved to be more then the Renegades could handle. The Golden Eagle offense would dominate the Coast North Conference pitcher of the year Jessica Varady as Feather River would pound out 14 hits in a 10-5 game one victory. The offense was lead by Dani Ming who would start the game with a stand up triple. She would finish the game with three hits, 3 run scored and 1 RBI. Alisha Perry would also have three hits,
including a triple to lead off the third inning. The Golden Eagle offense would finally knock the wind out of the Renegades in the sixth inning when Brittany Potter would step to the plate with 2 outs and the bases loaded in a tight 5-4 game. Potter would get behind in the count 0-2 before delivering a line drive that would bounce off the left center field wall. That double would score three and that would be the only offense pitcher Erica Wieck would need, as she would go on to win the game 10-5. Other notable Feather River standouts include, Leah Justice (1 hit 1 RBI and 2 Runs scored), Chelsea Venable (2 hits, 2 RBI, 1 run scored), Shelby Watts (2 hits, 1 run scored). “These young ladies have worked extremely hard to get to this point and they went out and took it from Ohlone today”. Coach Taylor stated.
Game two would begin with the Golden eagle offense once again jumping out to an early lead. Dani Ming would lead the game off with a double, Leah Justice would walk, then Brittany Potter and Chelsea Venable would also double, and before Ohlone had a chance to take a deep breath, the Golden Eagles were on top 3-0. Feather River would add another run in the second on a Leah Justice double and 
take a 4-0. Ohlone would answer in the 4th, cutting the Golden Eagles lead to 4-3. The top of the fifth inning looked like a quick inning for Ohlone as the Coast North Conference pitcher of the year Jessica Varady looked to be finding her groove. Varady retired Justice and Potter on two routine fly outs before Chelsea Venable kept the inning alive with a solid single to left. That would bring third baseman Shelby Watts to the plate. Watts would take the first pitch, then deposit the second over the left field fence for a two run home run that would give Feather River a 6-3 lead. Once again, the resilient renegades of Ohlone College would answer back, tying the game in the bottom of the 6th inning. However, Feather River would once again have an answer as Brittany Potter would deliver hitting a towering solo home run to right field in the 7th to give the Golden Eagles an emotional 7-6 victory. Annalee Rubio would battle the entire game in the circle going 7 innings while striking out 7 and walking 0. Coach Taylor stated “I am very proud of the accomplishments of this year’s team. They believe in themselves and each other. We are looking forward to heading to Sacramento to play in the super regional’s next weekend.”
The Golden Eagles will play at Sacramento City College this upcoming weekend in a double elimination super regional to see who will go to the California State Finals. The Eagles will take on Sacramento City College on Friday May 7th at 2pm. We hope to see you at the ballpark.
Feather River Claims Golden Valley Conference Crown
Quincy CA. - The Feather River College softball team began this weekend in a tie for first place in the conference with College of the Siskiyous. Both teams had identical conference records of 12-4. On friday April 16th the Eagles traveled to Lassen College to take on the Cougars. Feather River would waste no time as they quickly jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the 1st inning and would never look back. The offense would be lead by freshman catchers Chelsea Venable as she collected two
hits and three RBI's while freshman second baseman Leah Justice would also have two hits and two RBI's. Annalee Rubio would be dominating in the circle as she would throw a complete game shutout.

The offense was lead by Chelsea Venable's three hits, while Dani Ming and Leah Justice would have two a piece. Erica Wieck would throw another solid game surrendering only 3 runs on 3 hits in 5 innings. These two wins set up a match up with College of the Siskiyous as they too won both of their games to set up a Golden Valley Conference match up that would decide the conference championship. The College of the Siskiyous Eagles bats would prove to be to much for Feather River in the first game of the day as the Golden Eagles would fall 15-5. Siskiyous would pound Feather River's pitching, hitting 6 home runs. The second game, however, would prove to be a different story. Head Coach Josh Taylor stated, "This team has been resilient all season. We have continually rebounded from adversity and this was no different. It is a true testiment to a teams character when they can respond after a tough loss". Erica Wieck would take on the task of slowing down a Siskiyous offense that dominated Feather River in the first game. Wieck would prove to be up for the challenge as 
she would give up only 2 runs on seven hits and allow the Golden Eagle offense to take charge. "Erica did what champions do today. She went out and competed. She hit her spots and kept their bats off balance". Taylor stated. Feather River would jump out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first as Kylee Rogers would have a two out single to score both Brittany Potter and Leah Justice. Chelsea Venable would add two more runs in the 3rd innings as she would hit a home run over the center field fence. Feather River would add to that lead in the fourth with an RBI double by Dani Ming and an RBI single by Leah Justice. That would make the score 7-0 and that would be all the offense Wieck would need. The Golden Eagles would go on to win the game 7-2 and capture their first Golden Valley Conference Title since 2006. The win also gives Feather River the top seed out of their conference and a possible first round playoff match up at home. Seeding meetings will be Friday April 23rd.
