B-CU takes aim at 4th consecutive MEAC softball title

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  --  Bethune-Cookman overcame a rough start to finish in a familiar place.

The three-time defending Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference softball champ is once again one of the favorites heading into the conference tournament at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex.

The Wildcats (17-33, 11-3) are the No. 1 seed in the Southern Division and will open tournament play at 10 a.m. Thursday against Northern Division fourth seed Coppin State (16-23, 9-9).

“I never looked at it as a rough start,'' said B-CU coach Chris Cochran, whose squad was 3-23 halfway through the season. “I looked at it as where we are and let's get better. (The players) have stuck together all year, worked hard all year and wanted to be a good team.
