Finished 13-38. Really not even competitive. Is it time for a change?

Much worse than previous years, definitely.
What caused this year’s bad results?

Lost great pitching and new coach wasn’t able to bring in recruits due to Furman’s heightened academic standards that will effect all sports.

Won 41 games last year, so placing the blame on poor pitching makes sense. A great to elite pitcher makes all the difference in the world in softball since they can virtually throw every game. And the Paladin pitching staff appears to be far from great to elite. ERA of 5.89 is unheard of for even marginally good college softball teams. And the staff walked more people than they struck out. Wow. The main pitcher was a senior, but the other three that pitched all return. Maybe they'll get better over the offseason ...?
