Adaptability key to successful season

Continued from Back Page hope will propel them forward this year.

“They’ve learned how much focusing on the little things can benefit them,” Baggetta said. “What we can carry from game to game [and] how we grow daily, weekly, monthly makes a difference. Last year showed them that even with a small team, you can still be pretty successful.”

Nellis agreed with Baggetta that she will carry learning experiences from last season into this year.

“I would say the biggest thing I learned is to be adaptable on-and-off the field,” Nellis said. “Things aren’t always going to go as planned. If you and your team are adaptable and pull together when needed, there’s really no limit to what you can do.”

With these lessons in mind, the team is ready for an eventful season. In the coming weeks, they will get the opportunity to improve their record against competitors. The Eagles will next play on March 4 when they travel to Covenant College (Ga.) for a doubleheader against the Scots.
