Another Former Warrior Going to Minnesota

Ottumwa -- Former Indian Hills softball player Nicole Steinle will be joining another ex-Warrior at St. Cloud State University in the fall. Steinle has signed a letter-of-intent with the Minnesota school and will enroll there next season.

At St. Cloud State, Steinle will be reunited with Jordan Grell, like Steinle, a first-team all-Region 11 performer for the Warriors this past spring.

Steinle, a Fort Collins, Colorado native, played in 79 games over two seasons for Indian Hills. As a sophomore, she hit .250 and led the team in homers with eight and walks with 30. She had a .520 slugging percentage and a .993 fielding percentage while playing primarily first base.

Steinle was recently honored for her "Exemplary Academic Achievement" by the National Junior College Athletic Association, one of three IHCC softball players named as "Athletes of Distinction" for their academic performance this past year.
