Fairfield v. Rider on a Monday afternoon -- what a take that must have been. SHOW ME THE MONEY that is it I care about...doesn't matter who and where. Just showing the recruiting areas that Fairfield is pulling kids from due to their nursing program and many other programs HC doesn't have. How do you know it's due to their nursing program? The players don't have their majors listed on the FU website.

Well, this thread title will be wrong by 2 spots - make that '7th and last' - total flop this weekend vs. a Bucknell team which came in with the same PL record as HC, 2-10 They leave with a 5-10 record after sweeping us - with 12-0 Lehigh in town this coming weekend, we're looking at a likely 2-16 league record this season Subpar pitching, hitting and fielding will do that every time. The new coach had P Kelly Nelson last season and she was not replaced this season

Lehigh will be playing for home field in the playoffs so I wouldn't expect them to play all the seniors all the time unless they are the starters. We're home, so there will be no senior day influence on their side of the diamond.
While the pitching staff has certainly had some poor outings, to my eye, the lack of run support has been the primary culprit. It's understandable when a Patriot League line-up struggles to hit Power 5 pitching, but the typical PL/mid-major pitcher is hittable. Just not by us.

This program hasn't won a PL tournament game since 2002. Yikes.

The new softball facility is a high priority to be built. Hope it will provide an impetus to improve recruiting for the program. Shovels in the ground cannot come soon enough.

Lehigh needs to ramp up since BU is on a tear like usual. Lehigh upset them last year in the PL Tourney.

BU and Lehigh are to PL softball as HC is to PL football - the gap is only getting wider

It's official. HC Softball finished 7th (of 7) with a 2 - 16 conference record. 15 total wins with two non-cons left.

Fundamentals were lacking all season - in yday’s dh losses to Lehigh we committed 7 errors (none by Lehigh)

Dropped today's game against Bryant, 4 - 1. The Sacred Heart game scheduled for Sunday has been cancelled so we end the season 15-36-1 overall, 2-16 in conference.

As one would expect the all league teams were released today and we were shut out - lots of work to do to rebound next year

Can't say I follow softball all that closely, so a question for Foley or coacht who are much more tuned in -- possible for the PL to send two teams to the NCAA Tournament? If Lehigh beats BU, could BU get an at-large?

If Lehigh beats BU, could BU get an at-large? I would say BU has an outside chance with a RPI of 37 right now. Lehigh is absolutely not getting an at-large at 68. BU is 5-2 against Top 50 RPI teams and 12-4 against Top 100. Not shabby numbers at all.

One thing to remember is that if Boston U doesn't win the PLT, that would mean they would have added two losses to Lehigh to their record, plus two RPI-damaging wins against weak teams. RPI at that point would be closer to 50.

Agree with Bison and Bfoley's remarks. An outside shot. I think you'll see the 8th best PAC 12 team (Arizona) in there before the #2 PL team gets the nod.

As expected BU won the title today beating Army 2-0 Army had upset Lehigh in the losers bracket yday - Hope BU can make some noise in the tourney
