Let's wrap this season up with final thoughts. For the purpose of this thread, I am suggesting the following categories.

1. Best wins
2. Worst losses
3. What gets us to the next level?

Bring your thoughts on any or all of these and whatever else is on your softball mind.

We finished 19th in RPI. Only 9 teams had more wins than our 44.

Best wins: Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia Tech
Worst losses: Kennesaw State (2) Lipscomb

Also losses to LSU, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, and JMU were games we may could have won with 1 clutch hit.

To get to next level, we need to replace the HR power we lost with our seniors, and pitchers must avoid the "big inning" that doomed us some this past season. With all our pitchers returning, plus recruiting class arriving in the fall, pitching should be improved in 2022.

For the most part the defense was pretty stellar this year. I'd like to see that maintained or even improved.
To get to the next level we need a pitcher, or two, like the girl from JMU.

Two?! Be happy with the one if/when we ever see a pitcher that caliber at LU.
