Kent State women’s softball finished the 2018 season with a 29-23 record. It set the single-season team records for runs scored (284), hits (443), RBIs (240) and slugging percentage (.466). Seven different players received post season honors.
For the 2019 senior class, that wasn’t enough.
“At the beginning of the year we met with the seniors and talked about some of the disappointments from last year,” coach Eric Oakley said. “I said, ‘it wasn’t a terrible year.’ And they said, ‘coach, we didn’t win a ring.’ That’s our goal this year. We want to be conference champs.
