I saw that NCAA rankings/rpi had us at 41 and Longwod at 73 (https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/softball/ ... ftball-rpi). Our program is on the ascendency for sure. Longwood's pitching will be a challenge, again. Meet in April with the Sunday game on ESPNU. Just hope Zavodny is able to play by then after going to the hospital after the injury on Sunday.

Our RPI may take a hit this week. NC A&T is at 275 and Blue Hose at 255, or something like that. Kennesaw State has decent RPI, thus we need to sweep both games down there. I should have update on Tori's injury today.

Torn ACL , so I was told. She may try to play out the season with it.

Must be a partial tear given she was able to do some light jogging afterwards. If so, can play with a brace and probably be DP or PH this being her senior year.

That's 3 between her and her beau Caleb. If I recall, they will have to tear a few more to catch up with the Purples. Hopefully Tori will be able to be DP and continue to contribute, although speed was definately a big part of her game.
