I’ve been a voter for college sports polls for 25+years and nothing is as hard as the first few week of softball. Hundreds of games to consider.

🚨 FINAL: No. 9 Nebraska beats No. 1 Texas 8-5.

The Huskers hit 4 HRs and Jordy Frahm delivered 4.0 innings of scoreless relief to avenge last night’s 15-10 loss to the Horns.

Bizarre. But I assume fatigue played a role. Also, Buffalo only had 3 extra base hits and all were doubles

Following Chemotherapy, Belmont's Johnson Delivers Perfect Start After undergoing chemotherapy in the fall, Belmont redshirt senior ace Maya Johnson opened the season with a perfect game and 15 strikeouts.

She had chemo in the fall. She had a perfect game and 15 Ks today.

Ricard is very, very good. She could pitch anywhere and be a star

Kenzie Brown still great at pitching. Up to 10ks against OU.

Another great road win tonight as Minnesota beats Iowa.

Let’s use the word β€œupset” cautiously in the first few weeks of softball. Preseason rankings are so speculative, especially in transfer portal era.

Great win by Duke over Louisville on the road. Devils are way back.

South Carolina didn’t lose until March 7 last season, starting 20-0. The Gamecocks lose the season opener this year, with Virginia Tech beating them 8-4.

Hokies scored 7 runs in the 6th inning, sparked by Kylie Aldridge.

A lot of tight ones around women’s college basketball right now. Stacked night of good games.

It's been a tough night for pitchers making their debuts in the South Carolina-Virginia Tech game.

Duke has definitely worked through the early issues and is playing like most expected. Good to see

All the pieces are there, led by a great coach in Marissa. A big key will be if Cassidy can be a consistent ace in the circle like she's shown she's capable of.

Happy Opening Day of the NCAA softball season.

My 25th year covering college softball and the excitement remains just as high. Can't wait to write tons of stories for D1Softball over the next few months.

From being a four-sport athlete to covering nearly every sport now as a journalist, I am forever grateful for how sports had shaped my life for the better.

Disgraceful what has happened to the Washington Post. Another sad day for journalism and society at large.
