Madeline Roberts is days away from officially becoming a two-sport college athlete.

The Shoreline Community College freshman, who’s about to wrap up an unexpected basketball season (her first in four years) kicks off her main sport in less than a week.

Roberts is on scholarship as a softball player and she and her Dolphin teammates open play March 4.

The school posted the top photo, showcasing this year’s team, on its Facebook page this afternoon, and we’re passing it on to Wolf Nation.

Mad Dog fever continues to rage across the land.

Apparently the three-year break didn’t hurt her all that badly.

Despite not playing basketball competitively since her freshman year in high school, former Wolf Madeline Roberts continues to put up numbers at Shoreline Community College.

Roberts, who is a freshman scholarship softball player for the Dolphins, is one of five players to have seen floor time in all of the school’s 13 womens’ hoops games this season.

She has amassed 22 points, 23 rebounds, 12 steals, two assists and a blocked shot (Roberts may be listed at five-foot-four, but it’s a feisty, rise-up-and-deny-the-shooter five-foot four).

And, if nothing else, all that basketball action keeps her in shape for her true sport.

Madeline Roberts side venture is going pretty well.

The Coupeville High School grad went to Shoreline Community College to play softball as a scholarship player, but took a slight detour while waiting for spring and joined the womens’ basketball team.

That was a bit of a surprise, as Roberts didn’t play hoops in high school after her freshman year.

But she’s holding her own with the Dolphins, one of five players to see action in all seven of her team’s games.

Roberts is averaging 2.6 points per game (on 7-of-30 shooting), with a high of six against Green River and Everett.

Her best rebounding effort came against Everett, when she hauled down four boards, while she made off with a season-high three steals against both Everett and Olympic.

Mad Dog

Cue the record scratch.

Pulling off a surprise move, Mad Dog has jumped sports venues and is now ready to rain down buckets.

In one of the more unexpected bits of athletic news in 2014, former Coupeville High School softball sensation Madeline Roberts has picked up a second sport in college.

Now a freshman at Shoreline Community College, where she’s on scholarship to play softball, Roberts walked on the Dolphin womens’ basketball squad, which opened its season Friday with a loss to Wenatchee Valley.

“Yeah, haha, they didn’t have enough girls and needed some extra bodies, so I tried out,” Roberts said.

Despite not having played competitively in four years (she last ran the hardwood as a CHS freshman), her natural athletic skills took over and she’s now a gym rat again.

She apparently even convinced the person doing the SCC roster to believe she’s five-foot-four. Uh huh…

Shoreline plays in the Northwest Athletic Conference and has a 20+ game schedule that stretches through Feb.

That’ll keep Roberts active and on the go until it’s time to revert back to her glory days of being a slap-hitting lead-off hitter with dangerous speed and unexpected pop in her bat.
