From now until the season begins on Feb. 8, the Hawkeye will be spotlighting women’s softball. The first week focuses on the roster’s construction and the pitcher position, in particular, projects for the season. Seven freshmen, five sophomores, one redshirt sophomore, four juniors and six seniors makeup this season’s Warhawks softball roster. The balance of old and new makes for a compelling roster, especially at pitcher.
As the season begins, all four pitchers on roster are freshmen who dominated in high school. The four freshmen, Blaire Wilson, Karly Taranto, Murphy Williams and Adrianna Chavarria are joining their first-year head coach Molly Fichtner this season.
