Superstition means relying on a silly routine – same socks, jumping over the foul line – to hope for good luck. Routines might sound like superstition, but not in the case of Wichita State outfielder Lauren Lucas.
In her case, routine is a devotion to eliminating luck as much as possible each time she steps into the batters box. Nothing is left to hope with Lucas' approach to softball. It is all about making good results happen because of hard work.
"You can be lucky, and get away with it for a minute, but you can't get away with it for four years," associate head coach Elizabeth Economon said.
