Bees Softball Team Heads to the Regional Semifinals Wednesday Night

The game will be at the University of Akron.

The Brecksville-Broadview Heights girls softball team broke a record this year by winning more than 20 games.

β€œThe girls have had a great year,” said varsity head coach Rex Mack.

The team has won 23 games total and is going for a 24th tonight against Willoughby South in a Division 1 regional semifinal. A win tonight would be β€œhuge,” Mack said.

Mack said senior Kristen Lang has been an important player this year, adding that her β€œconfidence and composure” has spread throughout the team.

β€œThe kid works really hard,” Mack said. β€œShe’s dedicated.”

The Bees have also had seven or eight underclassmen starting this year, which means the future looks bright for the team.

Wednesday’s game begins at 5 p.m. at the University of Akron. Mack said tickets are $6 if anyone wants to come cheer on the Bees. The team’s overall record for the year is 23-6.
