On Saturday, April 26 approximately 160 Buena Vista University alumni softball players, current players, close friends and family of Marge Willadsen, head softball coach, and the late Rusty Mohler, long-time assistant coach, enjoyed dinner followed by a program at Sunrise Pointe Golf Course. The event was in recognition of the "End of an Era" as Marge retires from coaching at the end of this season. Earlier that afternoon, Marge coached her last game after 28 years as head coach. Rusty had previously retired from coaching last season.
