"I see the same intensity, if not more, because we are so eager to get out there," Robinson said.
The team also uses the fall season to find ways to improve on the previous season.
"The way we are coming out this year is different than last year," Lugo said. "We have a lot of young girls with a lot of experience, so we're gonna come out strong."

The softball team will conclude its fall schedule on the road in the Ohio State Breast Cancer Charity Classic Oct. 7. The team will begin its spring schedule Feb. 15 in the Florida Atlantic Tournament.
