Commerce had a rough trip to Georgia last week. They lost twice to North Georgia and once to Ft Lauderdale. Their 2 wins were against a lower tier team. I expect them to be in the top 25 in the coming weeks, but not sure this team is an NC contender. Much depends on the development of the newcomers.

I am very impressed. I saw Commerce play Fort Lewis this afternoon. Commerce is very good. LeBlanc pitched 5 innings of no-hit ball and was supported by a hard-hitting offense
that generated 10 runs on 14 hits. After the game, the team came up into the stands and I had the opportunity to talk with them. I am now more impressed. What a group of fine young ladies.
Not only are they very good softball players, but they have success written all over them. They are a credit to the school. Best of luck to the Lions.The Great White Buffalo has Returned

Yes, they tend to get high quality kids in the softball program here. This team is pretty young, Emily Otto is the only senior with a significant role. They have been hit and miss early this season, but have a lot of potential. Interim coach McNutt has been head coach at Southern Miss and SFA and won an NCAA title as team captain and catcher at College Station in the mid 80s, so hopefully she can instill what it takes to get to the top into this team. Right now I put them 3rd or 4th in the LSC with plenty of room to improve.
WT takes next weekend off then welcomes UT Tyler and Commerce on the following weekend. We are going to have to do a lot better at the plate. Yes, I know we run ruled Fort Lewis and another team yesterday but they aren't very good.

The LSC is a really tough conference, 3rd or 4th might still mean the top 25 in the nation. Look at what UT Tyler has been up to. https://uttylerpatriots.com/sports/s.../schedule/2022 . OCU is also off to a good start, including defeating #1 Augustana. https://oceagles.com/sports/softball/schedule/2022 . Angelo is just 12-1 so far. https://angelosports.com/sports/softball/schedule/2022

71-11 - That's the combined W-L for UTT, Angelo, TAMK, St Mary's, LCU, OCU, WT and SEU.
25-11 - The next three teams, Cameron, TAMC and ENMU. Not too shabby.Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

I agree. Watched Commerce again today, they have a lot of upside and are playing well now. Wt is very young, 6 Freshmen - 15 Sophomores - 5 Juniors. We are more athletic than last year and have deeper pitching. The bottom 1/3 of our order is not hitting, they need to pick up the pace. It will be a dog fight to get out of the LSC.
It's really hard to tell about our batters right now. The last 2 weekends have provided little competition so everyone is hitting right now. I am hoping Valforte gets better soon as we need her bat. The new catchers are getting the job done, especially Sanchez. The new shortstop seems to be improving. She doesn't have a high batting average, but is getting on base and her RBI totals are good. She has a rocket arm. I'm convinced Mook can improve any and all batters, but it will take time.
After today the conference schedule starts and UT Tyler and Commerce will both be hard to beat. Last season we were swept by UTT, Commerce, and OCU in the regular season, but things changed dramatically in May. There will be some bumps in the road in March and April but I think Mook will get the team where they need to be.Last edited by WT_TKW; 02-20-2022, 12:34 PM.
