Considering its offseason turnover and the opposition, it’s understandable that the UH-Hilo softball team started the season 2-3 in its first tournament of the season.
But coach Peejay Brun also understands this: “Every game matters.”
Brun learned that lesson last season in her first year on the job when the Vulcans were ranked late in the year but were edged out for a regional berth and sat home for the postseason with a 31-16-1 record.
“Everybody wants to talk about the conference games we lost at the end of the year, but I remember some of the losses early in the year that cost us,” Brun said.
