New day, new challenge.
Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott will launch a new season of college sports in March, having made the softball roster at Medaille College in Buffalo, New York.
The former Coupeville High School Athlete of the Year, who is a freshman, played for the Mavericks volleyball program last fall.
Prescott started all 21 of Medaille’s volleyball matches, playing in all 70 sets.
She finished with 116 kills, 165 digs, 24 aces, 12 assists, three solo blocks, 11 block assists, and 148.5 points.
Now it’s back to the softball field to play a sport where she was a holy terror in high school.
A pitcher and shortstop for CHS, Prescott had a lethal bat, killer speed on the base paths, and a gun for an arm.
During her days playing for the Wolves, she helped lead the team to state as a sophomore, before capturing a 12-0 mark during a pandemic-altered senior season.
Prescott and Co. lost their junior campaign on the diamond when Washington state suspended spring sports during the early days of the pandemic.
At Medaille, the former Wolf is looking at a 40-game softball schedule with contests running between March 13 and April 30.
