DURHAM, N.C. – After helping lead the Duke Blue Devils through an impressive inaugural campaign, softball assistant coach Lacey Waldrop will take the field Thursday as she opens her fourth season in National Pro Fastpitch with the Chicago Bandits.
The Bandits will open their 14th season as a franchise against the Cleveland Comets at 7:05 p.m. ET at Chicago Bandits Stadium. Chicago has captured six regular season titles and four Cowles Cup championships over its time as a franchise, with its most recent Cowles Cup title coming in 2016, Waldrop’s second year with the squad.
