Softball Cardinals hanging tough

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 05/04/2023 - 06:46

Middleton’s girls softball team has been extremely busy, of late.

And for the most part, the Cardinals have been extremely successful.

Middleton went 3-2 last week. And the Cardinals’ losses were both nailbiters against the top two teams in the Big Eight Conference.

Middleton defeated Janesville Craig, 14-5, on April 24, then split a pair of games with Madison Memorial the following day.

Sun Prairie East edged the Cardinals, 5-4, last Thursday. Then Middleton rebounded with a 12-3 rout of Madison East last Friday.

Middleton is now 7-3 overall and 5-3 in the Big Eight heading into a week the Cardinals had five more games on the schedule.

“Our team's confidence right now is incredibly high,” Middleton coach Brittany Carl said. “They believe they can compete with anyone, anywhere, anytime. I love that about this group.”

MHS golfers go crazy low

They wanted to bounceback.

They wanted to show their true colors.

Boy, did they ever.

Middleton’s boys golf team, which struggled at the Madison Edgewood Invite on April 24, rebounded in a big way 24 hours later.

The Cardinals went to the Morgan Stanley Invite held at University Ridge on April 25 and posted one of the lowest scores in school history.

Middleton shot a sizzling 294 and nipped Edgewood (299) for the title at the 13-team tournament. Madison Memorial (306), Waunakee (308) and Milton (311) rounded out the top five.

“We played so poorly the day before in the Edgewood Invite that the guys really wanted to bounce back and have a really good round at U-Ridge,” Middleton coach Tom Cabalka said. “At Blackhawk, we hit just 13% of the fairways off the tee. When you do that with tree lined fairways, it makes for a long day. Our guys came out focused and determined to play better at U-Ridge.”

Boy, did they ever.

Soccer Cards navigate rough road

The schedule has intensified.

And Middleton’s girls soccer team believes it’s ready for the challenge.

The Cardinals battled a trio of teams — including a pair of highly-regarded foes — last week and more than held their own.

Middleton routed Madison La Follette, 11-0, on April 26, then suffered a 1-0 loss to Madison West on April 27. The Cardinals then played Classic 8 Conference power Oconomowoc to a scoreless draw on April 28.

Middleton is now 4-1-1 overall and 2-1 in the Big Eight Conference. Here’s a recap of the Cardinals’ week:

• Middleton 11, Madison La Follette 0 — Senior Maeve Carlson scored the first hat trick of her career as the Cardinals rolled past the Lancers.

Izzy Frantz and Zoe Sharaf both had two goals, while Addy Frantz, Autumn Suttle, Ursula Anstett and Sophie Kasel all had goals, as well.
