Breanna's Start of the Spring Season

Well its the beginning of the end for me and the rest of the seniors. I have mixed feelings going into this last semester. I am very excited to start my last semester of college and get the softball season going but I'm sad to know its the end of having my softball family around me every day! I am happy to know i ran my last 300 yard shuttle and passed it, it was an accomplishment to know I can make it! This season i am pretty excited to see how we will do. We had our first week of practice and i will say its been the best first week this program has had since Ive been here as a freshmen. We are able to move forward faster and not go over the things that a college softball player should already know. We are having harder conditioning to be in better shape so when we go into an international tie breaker our team isn't tired and can last those 7-14 innings. We will be able to run bases more aggressively and put pressure on the other teams defense. The team has been getting stronger in the weight room so we can hit the ball harder and farther, our goal is to set a new record in doubles this year! I personally think this year will be by far our best year out of my 4 years I've been here! I am happy to say i could help a program get back on the tracks of going towards championships. As for school, i am excited to be on my last units but i know it will be challenging because they are my last units and I just want them to be done. Overall i am really looking forward to this semester because like i said.. Its the beginning of the end!!

Brooke's First Spring Blog

As a whole our softball team has already overcome plenty of mountains together in the path of our journey to success. Finding out that our ace pitcher would not be eligible this spring was devastating. Thankfully we have a transfer coming in this spring who we all have high expectations for along with a strong pitching core. With a pitching staff like ours, our team motto is we don’t rebuild we reload. Christmas break was a long time to not be with the team. We all have an extreme will to win and I know everyone put in their work over break to get better. We begin practice January 16^th. I am very anxious to see how we compete this spring. We had a great fall season and only have positive things to say about what is to come. As a freshman, there are some nerves for me but more than anything I am ready to go and get things done. The real question is who will be the LAST ONE STANDING?
