Hampton, VA – The Johnson C. Smith University women's softball team has been predicted to finish fourth in the CIAA Southern Division for the 2013 season. Predictions are based on a ranking system selected by each head softball coach.
The Golden Bulls concluded the 2012 season with an overall record of 17-29 and a conference mark of 6-10.
Warren Brooks takes over the program this year as the head coach. Brooks has been the assistant coach for the past two seasons and brings a decade worth of coaching experience.
There are eight student-athletes returning to the 14-man roster, including last season's All-Rookie selections
Stacy Peralta (Brooklyn, NY) and
Jasmin Harris (Stone Mountain, GA). Peralta recorded seven wins last season as the starting pitcher along with 19 hits and a homerun at the plate. Harris tallied 16 hits, 13 runs scored and three RBIs playing at the left field position.
