ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Bradley Softball was picked to finish sixth in the Missouri Valley Conference Preseason poll according to a vote of the league's 10 head coaches announced by the Valley office Wednesday.
Returning seven starters and a total of 14 letterwinners from last year's team that had the most overall wins (29) since 2004 and tied the school record for MVC victories (15) to finish fourth in the league, Bradley returns a big percentage of its lineup from last year's team which was one of the most powerful offensive teams in Valley history.
