The Central softball team was in a familiar spot this spring, making a record-tying 28th NCAA Division III tournament appearance.

The Dutch (32-10) played host to the four-team Pella, Iowa, Regional May 12-14 after finishing second in the Iowa Conference. Senior Karly Olson was voted the league’s pitcher of the year and was a first-team all-region honoree. Center fielder Sara Tallman broke the school freshman hits record with 58, hitting a team-high .408, and was a second-team all-region pick while sophomore transfer shortstop Emily Wilson and junior second baseman Paige Dickel were third-team selections.
