MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State softball has experienced two distinctly different seasons under head coach Lacy Schurr.
In 2021, she led the Cardinals to a program-best 31 Mid-American Conference wins, only for the team to struggle with roster turnover and injuries last year, resulting in a 22-31 overall record.
Although BSU improved during conference play, going 15-14, it came up one game short of qualifying for the MAC tournament. They were picked to finish third in the conference before the season, and that disappointment has fueled a strong group of seven returnees and two top starting pitchers, as well as 10 newcomers.
