The end of the road comes for all athletes.

For former Coupeville High School softball stars Madeline Roberts and Hailey Hammer, this past weekend marked the end of different stages of their college careers.

Roberts, who was on crutches at the end after suffering an injury, marked the end of her two-year run as a Dolphin with Sophomore Night festivities at Shoreline Community College.

Meanwhile, Hammer, a freshman, saw the regular season roll to a close at Everett Community College.

Shoreline is 16-16 overall, 10-10 in league play, while Everett is 16-20, 9-11.

The two teams advance to play in the postseason, though Roberts will likely be out due to a possible ACL injury.

Both Wolf grads put in strong work during their respective seasons, as the duo comprised 50% of Coupeville’s college diamond dandies.

Ben Etzell, a sophomore at Saint John’s University and Monica Vidoni, a freshman at Rainy River Community College, both played in Minnesota this season.

Vidoni’s season is done, while Etzell and the Johnnies baseball squad are off to the NCAA D-3 playoffs later this week.

Hammer is hitting .283 with 17 hits, including a home run and a pair of doubles.

She’s racked up seven RBI, scored nine runs, walked six times and seen action in 24 games.

Roberts has appeared in 21 games, compiling nine hits (including a double), five walks, four steals and three RBI.

She can’t be contained.

Coupeville High School grad Monica Vidoni mashed her third college softball home run Sunday, a solo pinch-hit blast that helped carry Rainy River Community College to a 7-1 win.

The Voyageurs, who swept their twin-bill with Mesabi Range, winning the nightcap 10-6 (Vidoni singled), have won four straight and 10 of their last 12.

RRCC sits at 22-11 with one doubleheader left on its regular season schedule.

Vidoni, a freshman, has seen action in 27 games for the Minnesota-based school this spring, piling up 15 hits, 13 runs, five extra-base knocks (two doubles to go with the three dingers) and nine RBI.

Two of her former teammates are deep into their college seasons, as well.

Hailey Hammer, a freshman at Everett Community College, has played in 17 games for an 11-13 squad.

She has 10 hits, seven runs, five RBI, three walks and a game-winning home run.

Madeline Roberts, a sophomore at Shoreline Community College, has been on the field in 15 games for the Dolphins, who are 10-8.

The slap-hittin’ outfielder has four hits, four runs, four steals, three walks, two RBI and a double on her resume this season.

Don’t hurt ’em, Hammer!

Too late.

In a college softball game Sunday that featured a match-up between former Coupeville High School teammates, Hailey Hammer had the last laugh.

Now a freshman at Everett Community College, Hammer went yard in the top of the seventh, blasting a fences-clearing solo shot to lift her squad to a 1-0 win against host Shoreline CC.

On the other side of the field, her former Wolf running mate, Madeline Roberts, now a sophomore for the Dolphins.

Both teams are now 4-2 in Northwest Athletic Conference play, putting them in a second-place tie behind Bellevue (5-1).

Everett is 9-9 overall, while Shoreline is 8-6.

Hammer’s long ball, her first as a college player, caught her a bit by surprise.

“Right over center field, it barely felt like I hit it far!,” she said with a laugh.

Four players, four success stories.

As the college baseball and softball seasons play out across the country, several former Wolves are busy polishing their reps.

Softball sluggers Madeline Roberts (Shoreline Community College), Hailey Hammer (Everett CC) and Monica Vidoni (Rainy River CC) and diamond man Ben Etzell (Saint John’s University) are all sporting different uniforms these days.

But, while they may have departed Coupeville High School, their exploits are still avidly followed by local fans.

A mid-season report card:

Hammer, a freshman, is hitting .333 for a 7-7 Everett squad, with eight hits, four RBI and three runs in 10 games.

She’s cranked a double, drawn two walks and has a .966 fielding percentage for a team that’s 2-0 in conference play.

Roberts has piled up two hits (including a double), four runs, two walks and two stolen bases in seven games thus far in her sophomore campaign.

Shoreline sits at 5-5 overall, 1-1 in league play.

Vidoni’s team, based out of Minnesota, kicked off the season earlier than the Washington schools, and the freshman has seen action in 17 of her team’s 19 games.

The Voyageurs are 12-7 and Vidoni has 11 hits (including an over-the-fence home-run), seven runs, six RBI, two walks and a stolen base.

Etzell, a sophomore, is also in Minnesota, where the Johnnies are 13-7 on the season.

The former Wolf has seen mound time in four games, going 1-0 with a 6.88 ERA, striking out 16 over 17 innings of work.

At the plate, he has six hits (including two doubles), seven runs, four walks and four RBI in 12 games.

Monica Vidoni

Monica Vidoni

Monica Vidoni went yard.

The Coupeville High School grad, now a freshman outfielder for Rainy River Community College in Minnesota, socked a solo, over-the-fence, home run Saturday as her squad swept two games.

“I was so excited I didn’t realize I was sprinting around the bases,” Vidoni said.

The big blow gives her nine hits and five RBI for a 12-5 Voyageurs squad.

She’s one of three former Wolves currently playing college softball, with former CHS teammates Hailey Hammer (Everett Community College) and Madeline Roberts (Shoreline Community College) also suiting up.

Hammer, a freshman, has eight hits, four RBI and a .348 batting average for a 5-7 team, while Roberts, a sophomore, has scored four runs and pilfered two stolen bases for a 3-3 squad.

Ben Etzell, a sophomore playing baseball at St. John’s University in Minnesota, is 1-0 with 13 strikeouts in 14 innings as a pitcher this season.

He’s also racked up six hits, seven runs and two doubles at the plate for the 11-5 Johnnies.
