Coach Hadley Q&A

Q: What are your expectations for the upcoming season?

A: I expect this season to be special. This group has the heart, talent and grit to be dangerous on the field. I hold them to a high standard, and they know I expect them to be the most successful softball program to step foot on the field.

Q: What are you looking to improve on from last season? Last season record?

A: Last season, we finished 18-35 with a dominant freshman team. Adding more freshman talent to the returning sophomores should allow there to be more established leadership and depth to the program.

Q: What are the team goals for the program this year?

A: WIN! Win the entire title and leave their mark on the program and community.

Q: How many returning sophomores?  How many transfers?  How many incoming freshmen?

A: We have 12 returning sophomores, 2 transfers, and 10 freshmen.

Q: Who do you see as the leaders within the program?

A: Each of them brings leadership qualities to the program. I have freshmen that came in and ate the pressure up of fighting for a spot and sophomores who understand the value of the game more due to their years of experience.

Q: Which returning player(s) has improved and impressed you the most so far?

A: Each of my sophomores has grown and matured which has helped them grow as a player and a teammate.

Q: What freshman player has impressed you the most so far?  What do you see as his/her role on the team this year?

A: I knew my freshman class would move in hungry and eager to give each sophomore a run for their money and they have which is exactly what I needed and wanted.

Q: Anything else you would like to add or include? What are you most excited about? Any new challenges or improvements this year (Ex. Conference/facility/rules etc…)?

A: Our beautiful facility upgrades plus an incredibly talented group of young ladies will make for an unforgettable and special year. We would love your support at all games you can attend. Bleed Blue!!
