Wichita State head coach Kristi Bredbenner talks strategy with team members during their game against Southern Nazarene on Sept. 21 at Wilkins Stadium.
Last year, the Wichita State softball team saw an abrupt ending to their season. The team was slated for a semifinal matchup with No. 1-seeded South Florida Bulls, who won the American Athletic Conference regular season title.
In the previous week leading up to the conference tournament, the Shockers beat the Bulls in two of three games to end the regular season.
But they wouldn’t even get their chance to knock out the champions in the tournament.
