With just 10 regular season games remaining in 2019, the App State softball team already surpassed its win total for each of the past six seasons.
“It was a buy-in from the players. From day one, they knew it would be a process. They stayed the course. They trusted in us, and they trusted in themselves,” head coach Shelly Hoerner said. “They just play for each other. It doesn’t matter who gets the credit, and I think that’s what has made us successful this year.”
In Hoerner’s first season in 2018, the team went 17-35 overall and 4-20 in the Sun Belt Conference.
