UW softball players Blomberg, Lucey shine in Madison Night Mares inaugural season

The Madison Night Mares finished their debut season Aug. 6, with an impressive 25-17 record, thanks in part to key contributions from University of Wisconsin sophomore standouts Hilary Blomberg and Dani Lucey.

A well-known name in Wisconsin’s capital city, the Madison Mallards have been around for almost 25 years competing in a for-profit collegiate summer baseball league — the Northwoods League. In a brand new women’s softball division of the Northwoods League, the Mallards extended their own brand by debuting a whole new team this summer, The Madison Night Mares.

General Manager of the Mallards and Night Mares Samantha Rubin said the league’s addition of a softball team had been in the works for a couple years.
