Women get the split today. Win against Holy Cross and lose by 1 to Yale. Glad to see we are continuing to be highly competitive against D1 teams. We are yet to play at home also. Will be nice to get some home games soon. Doing what they are all,on someone else’s field is impressive in year 1 of D1.

I thought this program would be our best shot at winning early. Not off to a very good start…

If I’m not mistaken the ladies are playing their first 19 games on the road. That’s just brutal for anyone. I think it’s way to early to judge how they will fare in the OVC this year. Imo we are very competitive in most games and have won multiple games already. I don’t think it’s fair to expect a D2 teams to move up to D1 and win 90% of their games right off the start. I’m going to reserve judgement until the season is over to say if it was a successful season or not.

Big win over Creighton today. I hope we can win both games with Long Island tomorrow.

USI went 3-5 in the spring trip. One game behind my goal of USI going 4-4. I will take the 3 wins plus the brand name USI got going to the spring trip.

The ladies have to be anxious about getting to play at home soon. Being on the road so long and not getting any home games is tough.
UE is having a great start this year in softball and beat us by 1 in extra innings at their place. But, I looked at their schedule and they are 9-0 at home and only 4-5 away from their home field. The road is always much more difficult to win - even if it’s a neutral field. Not a given that we win all our home games at all, but I do think it gives us a better chance to pick up some wins. Playing your first 19 games on the road is crazy imo. That needs to change next year.

The problem of scheduling home games so early in the season is that because of the weather those home games may be canceled. We will probably see USI play in tournament games in the South at the beginning of the season for some time to come.

Agree. But maybe even a few in early March would be nice if we could some next year.
