STATESBORO, Ga. – Georgia Southern Softball was back on the field for the first time as a complete unit this week as the fall practice period got underway for the two-time defending Southern Conference Champions.
"I think practice is going very well, the team is working very well together and we are working the kinks out," said Head Coach Annie Smith. "It has been fun to watch them working together. We've got a lot of players that have been in the system for multiple years, so I feel like we are already ahead of where we were last year."
The Eagles play their first fall games on September 29th against Middle Georgia College at the friendly confines.
The Eagles are the back-to-back SoCon Champions following last season's 33-30 record which included the program's second-straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Georgia Southern's top two hitters from last season return for 2014. Shelby Morrill hit .340 with seven home runs while shortstop Kourtny Thomas provided the power, hitting 12 home runs.
Also returning for this season is the league's top pitching staff. Sarah Purvis won SoCon Pitcher of the Year honors last season with a 1.83 ERA and 18 wins. Brooke Red, a junior now, also tossed a 1.83 ERA with nine victories. Allie Miles picked up six wins a year and returns for her senior season.
