Wichita State softball has high expectations coming off arguably its most successful season in program history.
The Shockers return nine players with significant starting experience from last season’s 32-23 team that reached an NCAA Regional championship game and coach Kristi Bredbenner signed a contract extension this summer to lock in long-term with the program.
To prepare for the 2019 season, WSU is playing eight games this fall and the marquee game comes on Thursday at Wilkins Stadium when the Shockers take on Oklahoma State in a 5 p.m. game.
“We’re going to see if we can put it together mentally, physically and really battle and find out a much better indication of where our program is at,” Bredbenner said.
