TROY, Alabama – The Troy softball team began practice for the upcoming 2016 season this week at the Troy Softball Complex.
"Our two words this year are to focus and compete," head coach Beth Mullins said. "From last year, I think we can focus a little bit more on what we want to do and just compete a little harder. I know the girls at practice are going to get a little bit better every day so really just focusing on our goals is going to get us there."
The Trojans are returning eight starters this season including senior catcher, Hannah Day. She led the team in batting average (.329), hits (57), doubles (13), RBIs (43), slugging percentage (.543) and tied for first in triples (3) last season.
After losing the majority of the pitching staff last season, Mullins brought in two freshman pitchers to help veterans Ashley Rainey and Rachel Rigney carry the load. Claire Graves and Peyton Glover will be in the circle this season for the Trojans.
Troy opens its season on Feb. 12 against Eastern Michigan in the Trojan Invite, one of three tournaments that the Trojans will host in the month of February.
