AKRON, Ohio – Coming off a Mid-American Conference tournament run that ended in the championship round, the Akron softball team looks to continue its momentum into a new season.
"As we were driving home from Firestone last May after a great game against Kent State, the returners talked a lot about one more step, about adding to what we just did," said head coach Julie Jones. "We have used a plus sign as our motto this year, expecting more, adding to our work and being positive about what we want to do."
The Zips return 10 players from last year's roster and welcome an additional 10 newcomers made up of junior college transfers and freshmen.
