(SALISBURY,MD.)-The Salisbury softball team is currently ranked number 2 in the nation. For the first time in three years the SU softball team won the CAC Title,picked up an automatic bid into the NCAA, and compiled 34 wins. Knight said the team is so much better than at the beginning of it.
"At one point we were 2-3, then we had a big win over Emory,"said Coach Knight."I think about where we were that weekend and where we are now,"said Knight. "We are just miles apart from each other.
Molly Simpson is one of the top power hitters in the nation this year. Simpson is leading division III softball with 14 home runs, and hitting .472 at the plate. She is also the Capital Athletic Conference's player of the year.
"I have put in the time and effort at practice but I would not be here without all my coaches and teammates and my family,"said Simpson.
Coach Knight said she pleased with her performance.
"Molly is on fire when she is at the plate,"said Knight. She is relaxed, and she is loving every minute of it and when you see a player enjoying every single minute of it, every single at bat and every single defensive play those are the ones you want on your team."
Easton graduate Paige Knussman said her ultimate goal is to capture a national championship for the Seagulls.
"That has been our focus every year. My freshman year was to get to Wisconsin, my sophomore year it was to get to Texas, last year was get to Salem and our same goal is to get back to Salem this year and win a national championship."
