Marist’s softball team fell short in the Class 4A state semifinals, losing 2-1 to Lincoln-Way West despite a dominant 36-2 season—but their heart and grit shone brightest behind the plate. Junior catcher Lexi Kyros, committed to Michigan, delivered two game-changing plays in under a minute, throwing out a runner at home and picking off another stealing second. Though the team fell short of their championship dream, Kyros and her teammates celebrated reaching state after last year’s disappointment. With standout performances from Maddie Rogers, Layla Peters, and Ellie Holmstrom, and a stellar outing from Soleil Tate, Marist’s fight was undeniable. Coach Colleen Phelan praised Kyros’ leadership and clutch moments, calling them “typical Kyros.” While the loss stings, the experience on the biggest stage fuels their fire for next season—with Kyros leading the charge to even greater heights.
