Monday afternoon, Priscilla Peek, a freshman here at Illinois Central College (ICC), offered us an insider’s perspective on the hot streak for the ICC Softball season. Peek grew up in Deer Creek, Ill, and graduated from Notre Dame High School last year. Peek leads the ICC Softball team in runs and has two home runs so far this season. 

The Lady Cougars have an 8-4 record for the season and have struck gold with their ongoing five-game win streak. Peek accredited this winning streak to “coming together” and “good communication”. She said during their games last week in Titusville, Fl, she felt the energy made a big difference.

“We just had each other’s back no matter what.”

Peek shared that her favorite things about being on the ICC Softball team are the environment that was created by the coaches. She also enjoys the bond she feels with the rest of her peers on the team. Next year, Peek plans to go to Illinois Wesleyan University, where she also plans to play on the softball team. Peek will be majoring in physical therapy and minoring in psychology.
