    It looks like Lendyl Lindaman will be the Volunteer Assistant Coach for this year. Don't know about the Graduate Assistant Coach yet.

    I hate it when they do those cutesy twin names.

    2023 Softball Roster
    Not much change-Avery Goelz is now #2 from #7.
    Interesting that they have not named the Volunteer Assistant or Graduate Assistant Coaches. I still believe Kendyl will be the Volunteer.

    Pitching is going to be the determining factor as to how far the 2023 team will go. Solid roster overall.

    Our main hopes are that Liz is healthy and Gigante is as advertised.

    Biggest factor is development with Delbrey. She stepped up for us in the post season. Also Trilicek.

    Agree - What we really need is for Delbrey to be the ace, Trlicek to be the 2nd reliable starter and Hightower relieving as a change of pace. If Gigante can help out, that would be great, as well as the UT transfer, but we can't really expect significant contributions from either of those, IMO. Gigante with the bat maybe.

    I expect a season similar to last year. One that is very good but not great. Great is not in the to distant future.

    The 2023 recruiting class may be the best in Gator history and we'll see UF as one of the Top 3 teams in the country for at least a few years starting in 2024.

    Just a friendly reminder. Gators ended up fifth in the SEC but were the only SEC team to make it to OKC. Won a game there and ended up fifth in final national rankings. Great for “a very good but not great” team. I expect more overachieving this year. Cautiously optimistic for a better SEC finish and another return to OKC.

    Ariel Kowalewski senior parking spot.
    And get this, Baylee Godard designed it.
    Ariel is a '23 C/UTL player who looks like she may be committed to the good guys.

    Ariel is indeed a ‘23 Gator commit. Rated at the 33rd best player nationally by Softball America. Walton’s 2023 class is absolutely loaded.
