Analysis: ECU Softball prepares for 2018 season

Not even the cold and rainy winter weather Pitt County has recently experienced this month could keep the East Carolina University softball team down, as it jump started its final spring practices in preparation for its debut in Miami, Florida tomorrow at 9 a.m.

In the Felsberg Invitational, ECU will face St. John’s University, Hofstra University, the University of South Carolina and the host, Florida International Atlantic.

Third-year head coach Courtney Oliver crafted a 26-30 overall record in 2017 and 5-13 in the AAC. Showcasing themselves as one of the nation’s best offensive powerhouses, the Pirates bashed in 64 home runs and 64 doubles last season.
