One season ends, while three others roll on.

Of the four Coupeville High School grads currently playing college softball or baseball, Monica Vidoni was the first to kick her season off, and now she’s the first to reach the finish line.

Vidoni and her Rainy River Community College (Minnesota) teammates wrapped a 28-14 season by playing in the NJCAA Region 13B tourney this past weekend.

The Voyaguers won two games, with their freshman outfielder chipping in with a pair of hits, an RBI and a spectacular, juggling catch.

Vidoni snagged a ball over her head, only to have the ball pop out of her glove. Diving down, she successfully re-snared it.

“It was a scary catch,” Vidoni said with a laugh.

She finished the season with a .310 batting average, 20 hits (including three home runs and two doubles), 12 RBI, 16 runs and seven walks.

The other three Wolf alumni playing college ball — Ben Etzell, Madeline Roberts and Hailey Hammer — started their seasons later than Vidoni and still have games left to play.

Etzell, a sophomore at Saint John’s University in Minnesota, starts the postseason this Thursday.

The Johnnies (25-12) open the MIAC tourney against Hamline University in Cold Spring, Minnesota.

Etzell is 2-1 with 33 strikeouts in 10 games on the mound for Saint John’s, while he has six hits, seven runs, two doubles, four walks and four RBI at the plate.

Hammer, a frosh at Everett Community College (15-17) has four regular season games left in her first campaign.

She has amassed 13 hits (including a dinger), six RBI, eight runs and five walks while fighting through injury trouble.

Roberts, who is closing in on the end of a two-year run at Shoreline Community College, has nine hits, five walks, four stolen bases, four runs and three RBI for a 12-14 squad.

The Dolphins have six games left in their season.
