Pretty much as expected. My only quibble - and a small one - is Cash not on first team. Based on her recent results, she has really out-pitched English. She has been lights out recently. LaPlaca has not been shy about bringing in Cash to relieve English in the last few weeks - and Cash has delivered - as in the past weekend against
La Salle. Not bad for a freshman. Still, great to have 2 quality pitchers in English and Cash - and also Snyder if needed. Dayton was picked 5th in the pre-season voting - so they really surprised everyone.
Gotta like our draw for the A-10 tournament. The only realistic competition is
Saint Louis and
Fordham - both on the other side of the bracket. Dayton currently sits at #64 in the softball RPI - so it must win the A-10 tournament to make the dance. No chance for an at-large bid.
