The Hilbert College women’s softball team is getting ready to kick off their season with a week full of games.

The Lady Hawks are set to play games Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday this week. The softball team will be hosting their first home game on the FSSJ field this Tuesday against Elmira College.

The softball team has been waiting years to have the chance to have home games in their backyard. Last year Gowanda High School allowed the team to host their home games.

Sophomore Adriana Vara said playing on the new fields was exciting.

“It is exciting to be able to have more fans at our games since we are on campus and have close support,” Vara said.

The team is looking forward to performing in front of their peers and hoping for a big turnout. Make sure to check out the FSSJ field at 3 pm and 5 pm to watch the Lady Hawks take on Elmira.
