Zook helps Bobcats on recent surge
The Bryant & Stratton college softball team has enjoyed a strong last week on the field, going 5-1 since March 29. Shawano Community High School graduate Brianna Zook has been a big part of that success.

Zook then helped the Bobcats to a sweep of Bay College on March 30. In a 17-9 game one victory, she scored three runs, doubled, walked and drove in two runs. In a tight 12-11 game two win, she doubled two more times, walked once and scored three more runs.
In a doubleheader split with Wisconsin Lutheran College, Zook had a hit in a 5-4 game one win. She doubled twice and drove in two runs in an 8-7 loss in game two.
