East Peoria, Ill. - Thome Field was full of lots of Cougar softball players---both past and present---as the Illinois Central College softball team held their annual Alumni Day in conjunction with a double-header scrimmage against St. Francis on Sunday afternoon.   

The Cougars got a close-up look at one of their most talented alumni, Kiersten Manning, who was the Region 24 Player of the Year as a freshman for coach Heather Doty in 2022 and is currently a senior pitcher for the Fighting Saints.
