The Greensboro College softball team had a transition
year in 2004 in more ways than one.
New GC Head Coach Kama
Tucker brought high-energy and enthusiasm to the program. She also
relied on underclassmen throughout the lineup. While the team finished
14-18-2 overall, there were many memorable highlights during the year.
The Pride had two 3-game winning steaks during the
season. GC also enjoyed doubleheader sweeps over Southern Virginia, Mary
Baldwin, Guilford, and an exciting whitewash of conference-foe North Carolina
Wesleyan.
More importantly, GC won two games at the USA South
Tournament for the first time in program history. The Pride then battled
in a closely-contested game against Ferrum, and fell one game short of
the semifinal round.
The Pride was extremely competitive in its games
this year. Ten 10 of GC's losses were by three runs or less.
Junior outfielder Frances
Constantino again had another standout season. She batted .398
and led the green and white in nearly every offensive category. Two Greensboro
College student-athletes earned all conference honors: Constantino and
Jamie
Pittman.
