Very good to have a Top 25 team in the conference!

Next year:

MT-top 25 finish this year

Liberty finished 2nd in the 14 team ASUN (40-22), got an at-large NCAA bid and went 2-2 in the regional.

JSU finished 3rd in the ASUN. Excellent showing.

SHSU finished a respectable 6th out of 12 WAC teams. NMSU 9th.

WKU won 30 games and finished 5th this year.

Looks STRONG again next year with the newbies coming in.

MT everyone back sans pitcher Gretchen Mead

Hope we don't lose anyone in the portal, but our SS might get plucked.

It’s not as stressful on the arm as a baseball pitcher….and it’s not like TJ surgery will affect a softball pitchers EP.
