UCF softball shut out in series opener against No. 2 Texas

UCF softball coach Cindy Ball-Malone didn’t mince words with her team entering this season. The Knights were coming off an American Athletic Conference championship (2022) and three straight postseason appearances, including an NCAA Super Regional in 2022. But heading to the Big 12, Ball-Malone knew things would be different, especially playing in one of the toughest conferences in the country. “Last year we played well enough to win every game,” said Ball-Malone. “We told them [the players] as a coaching staff that it’s not good enough just to be good and have good people.
