Today, our season was canceled. Today, we had to cancel lift and practice. Today, the weight room was closed. But also today, we looked out of the office window and saw the team working out together on the turf/track. ❤️
We took a little hiatus while we awaited our fate, but we are excited to announce that we have received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament!!!

As most of you have seen, we will not get the chance to play out our 2020 softball season. Everybody in our program is understandably heartbroken and devastated, but this family will get through it together.
In case you don’t know - WE’RE IN ITALY!
3 coaches, 1 trainer, 13 players, and 19 family/friends have landed in Milan. We will continue with updates throughout the trip, and our first game is tonight at 7pm (noon in CST)
We appreciate all of your support, but a huge shoutout to all of the friends and family who travel with us, cheer with us, and cry with us. Couldn’t do it without you!
We are so grateful for our alumni support. From the texts/social media love to those who are able to be there in person, we thank you and we love you 🧡🖤
Congratulations to the class of 2019! Thank you to our 8 seniors for a tremendous four years, on and off the field. We’re all very proud of you and are excited to see what you do in the future. Don’t forget about us!
