Bryan claims third straight Division II district softball title with shutout win over Napoleon
LIMA, Ohio — Bryan’s softball team has gotten pretty comfortable at the district level the last few years. The Golden Bears secured a third consecutive district crown to prove it. Sophomore pitching standout Thea Staten fired a one-hit shutout with 14 strikeouts, while the Golden Bears got the bats rolling in multiple innings as No. 1-seed Bryan blanked No. 8 Napoleon 7-0 in a Division II district final on Saturday at the University of Northwestern Ohio in Lima. “Our seniors have definitely done this before, and they know how to lead the team and guide us to those different big moments,” Bryan coach Samantha Molina said. “Super proud of them and all they’ve accomplished.”
