Well to be the best, you have to play the best! Making it to the WCWS all

the teams are the best! If we play like we did yesterday, and continue to ban together, we can beat anybody we face. Our team is young overall, but these young ladies can play the game of softball with the best of them! I attended the WCWS in 2021, with James Madison, beating Oklahoma in game 1 and later beating Oklahoma State in the same tournament. FSU, Arizona, Alabama, UCLA and Georgia. We have played each one of these programs except Oklahoma. We have beaten Alabama, UCLA, Georgia, JMU, and played OSU in Clearwater a couple of seasons ago, when we also played Arizona, and played them down to the wire when they had a better overall team than they have right now! Most of these teams play in the Clearwater tourney every season. Additionally, we traveled to Texas, and we split with them that season. FSU played Oklahoma in the final series of the WCWS and played well. We can do this and have the players in place to compete at the highest level. Our ladies just have to believe they can! By beating #9 ranked FSU yesterday, I believe that gave them the confidence they needed to finish strong the rest of this season! Go Hokies!

It sickens me to see 11 of the 21 teams from the SEC. Is there any sport

Remember, Stanford can't host one less to worry about**

They cannot; Coldplay concert **

It was stated during an ESPN broadcast so it must be true.**
VTChip 05/05/25 02:32 PM ET
I've heard them mention it on several occasions now. Watched Stanford v. BC

Can't they still be a 1?

Was a post here awhile back, but might not have been "official"**

Villanova in the Big East are no push over. They have a proud past of

Pitt is by far the worst, but unless they win the ACCT, they probably arent
vatechcowpatty 05/05/25 11:18 AM ET
Tech is already getting hit by those three losses in the RPI and the KPI.

Oregon is 3 spots behind VT in RPI and has 3 losses in RPI 100+ as well.**

LG has given up 15 ERs in her last 12 innings against mediocre

Oregon's SOS is #74 - that will be a problem for them**
VTChip 05/05/25 10:44 AM ET
Does that temper Grein's accolades to a degree
TomTurkey 05/05/25 12:13 PM ET
She did shut out FSU.**

Good point.**
