“From the time we got on the field, there wasn't a doubt in anybody's mind” - Softball sets the tone with dominant opening round win in Tuscaloosa Regional

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Jeff Breeden would've been happy with just scoring a run.

After going scoreless in MTSU's most recent trip to the NCAA Tournament, indeed their most recent trip to the Tuscaloosa Regional, in 2018, the Blue Raiders' head coach was just wanting his team to scratch a run across to get that proverbial monkey off his back.

His softball team got that run on an RBI-single from Savannah Behabetz in the top of the second against Central Arkansas. And then the Blue Raiders got seven more in the top of the fifth, combining that with a shutout from Gretchen Mead in the circle, to run-rule the Bears and secure the program's first NCAA Tournament victory.
