A Sea Of Red

LU Softball is on their annual spring break trip to FL:

03/06 Lost 3-2 to Middle Tennessee State (gave up 2-1 lead in the 7th on a couple errors)
03/06 Lost 11-3 to #25 Florida State
03/07 Lost 3-0 to Troy
03/07 Won 5-2 over Middle Tennessee State

Next up: DH vs Jacksonville Monday March 9

I see we have lost the double headers to JU and split with Stetson. Our record is something like 5-12. Anyone know why we are having a bad year in softball?

Looking at the schedule we've matched up with 5 teams ranked in the top 25 (lost all 5), lost to Cal Northridge (and they have good softball out west), and 6 of the losses have been by three runs or less including a couple recently that went down to the final inning. This is a very very young team (only I think 2 seniors) and there has been a heavy amount of turnover for reasons I dont know but Im guessing arent good.

The tough early season schedule is hurting us a bit. Can't seem to win against the Tennessees and the Florida States but not doing too bad against teams more on our level. Lost 2 heartbreakers aginst MTSU and Stetson. Our record should improve the further down the schedule we go since I don't think that the competition will be quite as tough. We seem to be more competitive this year vs last year but not quite up to the previous year.

LU fell 4-1 to FAU yesterday but picked up a 3-0 win over Rutgers. LU gets FAU again in about 30 minutes as part of the FAU Parents Weekend Invitational

LU falls 7-5 in 12 to FAU then splits a pair of 1-0 decisions beating Bethune Cookman and falling to #18 Texas A&M before closing the weekend with a 4-2 win over Purdue. LU will have their first home DH Thursday against Norfolk State with first pitch set for 2 PM
