The 2004 season for the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University Lady Bulldog softball team looks to continue their stronghold on the TranSouth Conference. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has won five straight conference championships and would like to make that six by season’s end. In 1004, Coach Brian Dunn has both pitchers and all but three starters on defense. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ lost their starting catcher and second baseman to graduation and the right fielder transferred. The Lady Bulldogs have added four new players, two transfers and two freshmen, to help fill those voids.

The Lady Bulldogs have high goals for the 2004 season. With a large group of returning players with NAIA World Series experience, and a solid group of new talent added to the team, this squad has a great shot at making a run deep in to the NAIA postseason.
