Owens Community College softball team is national ranked

   For my individual project I decided to do it on Owens Community College softball team. I choose to do my project on them because I will like to work for ESPN magazine one day. I thought covering a national ranked team will give me some practice and guidance in the right direction. The game I covered was on April 22, 2012 and they played against 16th national ranked Mercyhurst College. The OCC softball team is ranked 8th in the nation being lead by 9th season Coach Duane Lanham.

     I enjoyed shooting the team as they split winning the first game and losing the second. Despite the freezing weather the girls played the double header very well.
