11/11/18 - ICE Cares event at McHenry VFW hosted by Northern ICE 02

Players and families from our Northern ICE 02 and 11U teams came out in full force to support our 7th annual Care Package event. This year, we shipped 54 care packages to soldiers deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Korea. Many of those soldiers deployed are part of the Wisconsin National Guard, so even more special that we are able to connect with soldiers who are from our area! Another big THANK YOU to our players, families, and the VFW to make this such a success!

Another Undefeated Weekend at the This Able Veteran Round Robin

10/30/2018

Northern ICE 007-11U managed to go undefeated for the second time in as many weekends of play at the This Able Veteran Round Robin in Wauconda, IL. Game one was a rematch with the Downers Grove Rebels 11U squad, which ended in a 9 – 9 tie in the teams’ first meeting on September 22^nd. This time around, the Rebels were held to 3 runs behind good pitching from Claire and Kieley, and the offense remained alive as well, plating 14 runs on 14 hits including a grand slam in the second inning by Claire.

The ladies took on the Johnson Creek Lady Yellow Jackets in game 2, a team that defeated us last spring 14-0. After failing to score in the first, the ICE put multiple runs on the board in each of innings 2 through 4. Behind three solid innings of pitching from Madison, and a strong save from Ava, the Yellow Jackets were held to 4 runs. The Yellow Jackets had a mini rally brewing in the 2^nd inning that was thwarted when Grace threw out #8 trying to swipe second. ICE win big 9-4, manufacturing those runs without any extra base hits – that's execution!

Game 3 was against a veteran Vernon Hills 12U team. ICE put runs on the board in all three innings, and backed by 2 solid innings of pitching from Ellary, the ICE took a 6 – 2 lead into the third and final inning. In our half of the third, Bianca was clutch with a 2 RBI single that would end up being the game tying runs. The game ended on time in an 8 – 8 tie to preserve an undefeated weekend of excellent softball. The team hit for 0.431 on the weekend – keep it up ladies!!

Northern ICE 007-11U Thrills and Skills Tournament Champions!!

10/15/2018

The Northern ICE 007-11U team went undefeated at the chilly Thrills and Skills Tournament in Yorkville, IL this past weekend. They started the tournament strong in pool play, defeating the Tinley Park Rockers and Oswego Outlaws by scores of 12-2 and 18-7, respectively, earning a #1 seed for bracket play.

In bracket play, the ladies faced Oswego again in the opening round, this time winning 22-5. The second round pitted the 007-11U squad against a tough Naperville Diamonds 11U team. Although out hit by the Diamonds, we made plays when needed and capitalized on opportunities to take a 9-6 win and advance to the championship game against the New Lenox Power. ICE jumped to an early 5-0 lead in a hit filled first inning, and held on to win 7-6 with a walk off single by #44 Claire to drive in the winning run. CHAMPIONS!

The team amassed 68 runs in 5 games, logging a 0.439 team batting average. Great work ladies!!
