One step forward two steps backwardUNC women's soft ball team lost the opening series against Syracuse 9 to 7. They need to win the final two games in this series to maintain a top 4 spot in the conference race.
Understandable but winning every now and then against good teams would be nice and show things are headed in the right directionRefer back to my comments on March 17, 2025, it's going to take some time before Megan Smith have the players to complete with schools who have been dominating the ACC in softball for years.. The last two years with Megan Smith as coach has been better than the 10 years before she arrived, when UNC was in the cellar of softball.
I understand that but would like to steal a win or two from the better teams on our schedule. Not just beat up on the average to below average teams.Duke has been one of the best team in the conference for some time. Florida State and Virginia Tech have awesome teams as well. Patience will be the best remedy in regards to the women's softball team, as stated give Megan Smith a couple of more years. Considering she started with not a lot to work with, a program which occupied the bottom spot of the ACC for years.
They are heading in the right direction, they use to lose to average and below average teams.I understand that but would like to steal a win or two from the better teams on our schedule. Not just beat up on the average to below average teams.
Hope so time will tell been a long time since they were good that I can rememberThey are heading in the right direction, they use to lose to average and below average teams.
