In the first round of the playoffs, the Falcons faced Chandler Prep who they had narrowly beaten in the first game of the season. Pitcher Reyna Gil and catcher Chloe Santini played a great game, striking out seven and they were backed up by multiple putouts by the infield, especially first baseman Abby Rice, but North Pointe struggled to get things going at bat and they lost 2-1. “We had a great season, and I am proud of the growth the girls all showed this season.” said Coach Stephenson.
