February 25, 2026

Pace 4, Northview 0

One inning on a cold Tuesday night made all the difference between two of the state’s top softball teams in Bratt.

In the battle between two state runners-up from last year, the 6A Pace Lady Patriots defeated Rural Division runner-up Northview Lady Chiefs 4-0.

The game sat scoreless until the top of the fifth inning when the Patriots’ Gracie Ueberroth knocked a two-run home run over the center field fence, and Haley Olivet singled to score two more runs.
