So after 14 games, 3 of them against ranked teams (Michigan & Duke twice), the Gators are 13-1. D1 Softball had us ranked #1 as of 2/11, but when the new rankings come out, probably tomorrow, I imagine we'll drop a spot or two. Here are some numbers:

Olivia Miller 1-0, 0.00 ERA, 7.0 IP, 3 hits, 0 HR, 0 doubles, 3 BB, 6 K's, BA against .125
Early oberservations: Reagan Walsh has started off the season in a huge slump and as the #5 hitter, needs to get it going ASAP. Mia Williams vastly improved as a hiter from last season. Taylor Shumaker is a superstar in the making. Our middle infield has not looked good defensively overall. Korbe Otis has not played up to the standards of her All-American year in 2024 - yet. I would like to see Olivia Miller in the circle more often and can't wait until freshman HS AA Kaitlyn "Red" Oxley can start pitching. It's still very early in the year and a lot can happen, but as we all know this is a team with the talent and togetherness to challenge for an SEC & NCAA title. Excited about watching it all play out.
