The untimely death of a former star for the University of Northern Iowa's softball team may create new opportunities for future student-athletes.
Steven Rettinger said he plans to start a scholarship in memory of his daughter, Micalla — a four-year starter for the Panthers who was fatally shot Sunday in Waterloo. Police do not believe Micalla, 25, was being targeted when she was struck by a bullet at about 2:30 a.
