What things did you see from the team in the fall?
We had a team that made extreme strides during the fall season and learned how to compete/win at the college level. Our pitching staff saw themselves become well rounded pitchers with multiple pitchers compared to just one dominate pitch like they came in with.
What was the focus during the fall for the team?
Grow out pitching staff and give them the tools to be successful at this level, well working with our hitters on having a plan and executing that plan at the plate.
What are the expectations and goals for the team entering the season?
Put ourselves in the top 3 in the Mon-Dak Conference and make the regional tourney. Give ourselves a chance to win an important game there, and make a deep playoff push.
