Coaches are pleased with the team following its first weekend of fall ball action
Over the course of two days, the Orange competed against four New York opponents in its first weekend of fall softball play. After outscoring Fordham, Albany, St. Bonaventure and Herkimer this weekend in Binghamton the coaches are pleased with their team and are excited for the road ahead.
"It's great to have the opportunity to get on the field during the fall and see what this year's team looks like," Coach Ross said. "I was impressed with all parts of our game this weekend. Our team was very disciplined at the plate and we were playing with a lot of confidence defensively. From a coaches perspective, seeing them play like that in their first time out on the diamond against an opponent... It was great to see."
"We were very pleased with the effort and level of play that we saw out of our team this past weekend ... Offensively we saw consistent quality at bats and defensively our pitching staff showed signs of dominance," Coach Bosch added.
The freshmen earned themselves quality playing time and by all accounts, they made the most of it. Coach Ross and her staff made a point to express that this year's freshman class played "extremely well".
"I think I was most pleased with how well our freshmen have adjusted to the college game. They have stepped in and are contributing right away which isn't always an easy thing to do. So it's very comforting to know that these girls are ready to come in, play at a high level and help this program get to where we want to be," Coach Ross said.
This weekend Syracuse hosts Binghamton on Saturday, September 20 at 2:00 PM and LeMoyne Sunday, September 21 at 1:00 PM.
