All things must come to an end at some point. That’s a fact the seniors on the East Carolina University’s softball team are now facing.
Pitcher Lydia Ritchie, outfielders Kacie Oshiro and Ciara Ervin, and infielders Ali Ramirez and Megan Quick had their share of ups and downs during their four years as Pirates, but they stuck through it and grew as players.
Now, as their playing days at ECU have come to an end after falling 6-0 to Houston in the semifinals of the American Athletic Conference Softball Championship, the five seniors can look back at their accomplishments with pride, knowing they’ve helped lay the foundation for future Pirate softball players.
