Collegeto buildfield, team on the move After years of nomadic playing, Cabrini has finally given the nod to add a softball field to the sports complex. The field will make it easier for the players to always have a place to practice. Also the new field will make watching home games easier for avid fans of the team. The new field will be placed on the upper athletic field by Grace Hall.

Why does Cabrini College need a softball field? Take a typical practice day for example. "I have class at 3:lOp.m. every Wednesday, but have softball practice from 2-4p.m. ," Junior Megan Johnston said. "We all pack up the equipment, pile into a car, and begin our
search for a field. After hopefully no more than fifteen to twenty minutes of searching, we find a field, which is most likely in bad condition and increases our chances of injury. We begin to warm up and I hope that someone will be able to give me a ride back to campus because I don't have a car and don't want to be late for class.
Meanwhile, another player has class until 3:lOp.m. ,so she is hoping that we found a phone and left a message at the Dixon Center front desk because she has no idea where we are. It is a lot of hassle that could be avoided if we had a home field on campus," said Johnston. Cabrini College's softball program has been outstanding, since
Bridget Baxter became the Head Coach and she is now in her fourth season. Cabrini College had a home field a few years ago, but the National Collegiate Athletic Association made a rule that you could no longer have a grass infield, it had to be made of dirt. Instead of Cabrini skinning the grass the team moved their home games off campus to Phoenixville.
