softball coach watched as pundits and fans doubted the football program and its dour start. Earlier this year, Murphy heard the Tide men’s basketball was a postseason pretender. Those campaigns ended in a Southeastern Conference title and Final Four run, respectively. Ahead of his 25th postseason with UA softball, Murphy believes it’s his team’s turn.

The main options will be Beaver and freshman Jocelyn Briski.
