BLAIR, NEB. ~ Nicole Schoop, a catcher from Johnston, Iowa, recently signed a letter of intent to continue her softball career at Dana College.  She is the daughter of Dave and Lynne Schoop.  She plans to major in science during her career at Dana College. 

Roff’s comments:  “Nicole Schoop is the type of kid that every coach loves to be around!  She has such a great work ethic and wants nothing more than her team to succeed.  She has been working to improve every aspect of her catching, as well as her offensive game.  We believe Nicole will improve her arm behind the plate as well as her release time.  Nicole plays at one of the most competitive high school softball programs in the state of Iowa and that has prepared her for collegiate softball.  We are very please that she has chosen to attend Dana with her sisters!”
