Spring Sports Update

There seems to be an on-going mumble and growl about Nazareth not being big enough to compete with other AAAA schools in the Lehigh Valley Conference. Most point to the struggles of football and boys basketball. Clearly these are high visibility sports, but at the same time most other sports have done very well.

In looking at the news today, seasons are coming to an end and league championships are taking place, Nazareth's student-athletes are representing themselves and the community rather well.

• Softball - Brooke Hull tied a school record for victories, the team has won 15 straight, and they've clinched the Northampton Division Title (read the article here)
  
• Soccer - 17-1 on the season and play Emmaus for the third straight year for the conference title on Thursday. Nazareth defeated Emmaus during the season 3-0, the Hornets first conference loss in years (read the article here)
