TAMPA, FEB. 12, 2016 – Head coach Ken Eriksen got a good look at his roster in real game situations during the Bulls’ season-opening doubleheader Friday at USF Softball Stadium.
USF used 16 different players with four making their Bulls debuts in a 7-1 loss to South Carolina and a 6-3 loss to Virginia Tech.
“If you can get the majority of your roster playing in ballgames in the first five games of the year you’ve got a pretty well spread out, talented team,” Eriksen said.
Despite the losses, Friday’s games showed the future is bright for USF with standout performances from freshmen.
