The season snuck up on me.
Looks like we are picked #2 in the conference in the preseason poll!

This GoYotes article ahead of the season opener is a good quick primer on this year's team. ... openings at second base, first base and catcher...right and left (field)... "There are going to be new people playing those positions because of what we lost to graduation... I think early on we will play a little bit more of the roster than maybe we have in the past." ...The long ball has always been a weapon for the Coyotes throughout the last decade, but Wagner spoke highly of the athleticism throughout this roster. He doesn't call for bunts often, but may opt to more this year and use his speed on the base paths as an advantage. ..Similarly, that advantage should carry over to the defense... "With all of our pitchers, we're going to have to play sound defense behind them. We won't strike out 10 or 14 players a game, but we will go with our strengths and attack hitters' weaknesses. One of our advantages is that we have at least three people that we feel confident can go in there and start a game. It's kind of like the hitting – we will play the hot hand and look for an ace so to speak. But we do have some depth within our staff." |

Scores from the UNI softball tournament over the weekend:
W 5-3 vs #136* Northern IA
L 0-4 vs ---#27 Drake
W 9-8 vs -#125 Murray State
L 4-7 vs --#109 DePaul
L 4-9 vs --#136 Northern IA
From the looks of it these games were played inside the UNI-Dome. If they can do it, we should be able to as well (host an early season tournament). Something to think about.
I like the caliber of teams in that tournament. Top-150 teams.
