For the first time in over a decade, the Southern Door Eagles softball team is heading back to the state tournament in Madison after defeating Oconto 5-0.

 

Pitcher Lexi Wery got more than enough help offensively as she kept things in check from the circle, pitching seven shutout innings with seven strikeouts while just allowing two hits. Wery also helped her cause with a two-RBI double. Jacie Atkins also had a pair of RBIs while Kendra Dantoin collected two hits. Grace LeGrave did her damage on the base paths, scoring two of the Eagles' five runs.

 

The next stop for the Eagles is Goodman Field on the campus of the University of Wisconsin where they will play next Friday at either 10 a.m. or noon. Teams will be seeded before an opponent is announced.
