Bevans joins MSR college softball league
Monika Bevans, a freshman at Kirkwood and a former star at Solon High School, has joined the new Iowa Women's Softball League that will begin play this May.
Bevans, a catcher and third baseman, is the 17th collegiate player to join the league, which is being formed by the Metro Sports Report. She hit .507 with 12 home runs and 76 RBIs for Solon last season and helped the Spartans take third at the Class 3A state tournament.
Bevans was a first team all-state selection in 2016 and a second team all-state pick in 2015.
The Iowa Women's Softball League is geared for all college players in Iowa and for all Iowans who are competing at out-of-state schools.
The season will consist of 10 doubleheaders on Sunday afternoons next summer, beginning on Sunday, May 28 and running through Sunday, July 30. All of the games will be played at Kirkwood Community College and Coe College in Cedar Rapids, beginning at 2 p.m. each day.
The goal is to have four teams with 16 players per team.
