IF ANYONE CAN, KOENIG CAN!

By Ty Bartell

CANFIELD OH- There is a senior leader at shortstop this year for The Canfield Cardinals softball team and her name is Marina Koenig! The multi sport athlete is known for bringing a competitive edge, grit and plenty of energy for her team. After a fantastic run on the basketball court, culminating with a district championship, Koening and The Cardinals  are eager to get back to work to repeat the magic of the 2024 softball season.

For Koenig, her confidence has been the part of her game that has most improved over the years. Citing her most recent basketball season as an example of that, she hopes to bring this new level of confidence to the softball team to help fulfill their goals. With her dad coaching baseball in the Canfield community for 13 years, diamond sports have served as a pivotal role in Koenig’s life from a young age, “it’s in my blood” Koenig said. There is no doubt in the love and the passion Koenig has for the game, thus why the goal of playing at the collegiate level has been at the top of her list for quite some time. Realizing that goal this past year when Koenig was able to commit to Tiffin university to continue her academic and athletic career! Going through the grueling college recruiting process, Koenig mentioned The Tiffin coaching staff showing their support over the summer “being able to see them and their continuous support and really showing that they wanted me to come on their team and play for them, I think that’s what really drew me to Tiffin.” Koenig said.

Learn all of that in this edition of Player Profile, including a round of fun rapid fire questions you will not want to miss. Opening the season on Saturday, March 22nd we are eagerly counting down the days until opening day. Catch Marina Koenig and all The Cardinals in action this softball season on YSN!
