Look forward to watching the Tennessee games, I followed Tennessee last year because Karlyn Pickens is a NC girl.

Hopefully, we can pull the upset, but Tennessee is serious good this year.

We played a great game last week against Carolina!

Should be a fun season!

Heck of a weekend coming up for these ladies. Friday against #1 Tennessee, Saturday against #23 Penn State after a game earlier in the day against NC Central, then back to Sunday against #1 Tennessee. Not sure if this weekend tells us much but it'll at least give us a good look of where we stand.

Great game until the bottom of 5th, very impressive effort. It appears these ladies are legit.

Penn State on Saturday, so another chance to get a big win.

Look forward to seeing them in person in the coming weeks!

The game changed drastically after the illegal pitch call, which was very debatable. Seemed to rattle Fisher a bit who was great until then. Tennessee didn't look like a consensus #1 yesterday. She kept their bats off balance. May be a didn't game on Sunday though.

Their catcher is a NC girl as well. Emma Clarke.

After this weekend we are clearly better than Presbyterian and Furman. Lots of success this past weekend.

If you're going to a home softball game, make sure to get there early due to limited parking.

Tried to go to the home softball game today. I'll admit to getting there right at first pitch. The upper parking lot is only for family of players, so can't park there. The lower parking lot, due to the new building construction, only has room for 50-60 cars, and it was full. Also, this parking lot isn't in good shape. Was told I could park at the Holmes Deck and take a shuttle over. Decided to take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway instead as I thought might be half over by the time I get there. Also I'm kinda burned out on shuttles after baseball last weekend.

Ball sure does fly out of the park. I think our pitching is still our weak spot.

Love this team.

Unfortunately, the pitching hasn’t held up in conference play.

We really only play two pitchers, that is a big disadvantage in a three game series against a good team. It means that even if things go great, the opponent gets to see one of the pitchers twice.

Our hitters are impressive but it’s hard to win against good teams without consistent pitching, even when you’re hitting home runs.

Fisher is just a Freshman, she has talent, just needs to keep fighting and improving.

Best start in team history, hopefully they can battle in conference and win some series.

Sun Belt softball is legit.
