A10 Softball Blog's Christmas List

Happy Holidays to all!

Here are some things that the Atlantic 10 Softball Blog would like for Christmas:

-Good weather: countless non-conference games were lost due to poor weather this past season, which in the opinion of this blog, ended up having a negative effect on the conference RPI. More importantly, nine conference games were lost due to weather, which impacted the Atlantic 10 tournament field, as the final spot was decided by one game. We would love to see every game played as scheduled this season.

-Good health:  the A10 was decimated by injuries last year, including injuries to 2010 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year Katie Bettencourt and Kara Clauss, which kept them out of play at various points during last season. There were also other players who were affected by injuries throughout the season. 2012 should be one of the best seasons in A10 history and we would like to see all of the best players on the field.

-Luck: more often than not the better team gets the win in a softball game, but every now and then a good or bad break can decide the outcome. We would love to see the A10 teams have all the luck this season, especially against ranked and BCS opponents.

-Better coverage: some schools fell short in the game coverage department last year, so we are asking them to do better this year. Whether it is video, audio, live stats, live blog, twitter, etc. please provide something. We will do our best here at the A10 Softball Blog and we expect schools to do the same. There is great softball being played on the field, it would be nice to see great coverage along with it.
