After a 26-18 season in 2023, the team is looking to execute a winning season this year with the Moutain West Championship in reach.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s main season is in the spring, but they have already had the chance to play some games.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fall season is basically only eight games. Those games are almost more like a scrimmage format. They give you a little bit of an indicator of where you\u2019re going to stand and where you\u2019re going to be going in the season. But you know, once the season starts it\u2019s definitely much different,\u201d said head coach Todd Judge.<\/p>\n<p>Judge started coaching in June and is optimistic about this season and what he thinks they can do.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think as a new coach coming in, the goal wasn\u2019t immediately, you know, performance related to endpoint of a record or conference championship or both things, but to change the culture of the program.\u201d <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He believes the team he has this year can do that. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal 100% in the spring has been to win the conference championship and go to the NCAA tournament. If you\u2019re not willing to say it, then it can\u2019t happen,\u201d Judge said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the offseason, teams can pick up players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of our big players we got in the portal was Alex Bunton from San Diego State. Alex right now is killing it,\u201d Judge said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cKaylee Erickson from BYU was a big pick up, one in the transfer portal we picked up. And then Ali [Ashner]after that we picked up from Arizona,\u201d Judge said. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur biggest standout right now, not even a question, is Ariel Fifita. She is playing at a level that, when you\u2019re playing at that level, you can\u2019t wait to go play again,\u201d Judge said. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fifita has been at USU her whole collegiate career and has been a standout player for the Aggies.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust talking to coach Todd, I told him at the beginning of the season that I wanted to bring a 2.0 version of myself compared to last year,\u201d Fifita said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fifita has become a leader on the team, and she has been able to grow as a player since last season.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a pretty new team. The chemistry that we are building so far has allowed for my confidence to grow even more,\u201d Fifita said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fifita\u2019s batting average is a stellar .500.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was kind of just hitting the ball just to hit. Now I\u2019m going up there with a plan and I know my role in the lineup,\u201d Fifita said. \u201cSo, versus wanting to get that home run or having those big hits, I know my role is to get on base and to do my job.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fifita isn\u2019t the only key player this year. Senior Alex Bunton, who plays third base, transferred from San Diego State and has been a strong player for the Aggies.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning a Mountain West Championship \u2014 I know that we have the capability to do so. So, I\u2019m really excited to be able to conquer that,\u201d Bunton said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bunton has a batting average of .444 with three home runs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t really think much. I think that I overthink a lot. So I try to keep my mind as blank as possible. If I am thinking anything, it\u2019s probably a song,\u201d said Bunton in response to what goes through her head when she steps up to bat. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as mental toughness, I would just say I still go out there wanting to hit the ball hard, but now I have more of a plan,\u201d Fifita said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Team chemistry is an important part of any sport, especially with a team with new players.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have lots of team dinners, team lunches even after games. We are required to kind of sit together, but it doesn\u2019t really feel like a requirement. We kind of all just choose to sit together,\u201d Fifita said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlex Bunton, Giselle Gonzalez, I would also say Brooklyn [Pritchett],\u201d said Fifita about fellow players that have been key parts of the team. She also mentioned Erickson and sophomore Grace Matej. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe intensity. Our coaching staff does bring out the most intense side of us,\u201d Bunton said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Aggie softball might have new players this year, but they are bringing the fire with great hitters and team chemistry. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not only was hitting mentioned, but the pitchers and pitching staff are a huge part of the program. Judge and Fifita mentioned the pitchers and pitching coaches.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very rare in today\u2019s world to have a pitching staff where it\u2019s not just one person that does a good job. Our staff has done an amazing job as a group,\u201d Judge said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cJessica Stewart, Denay Smith, Katie Zuniga \u2014 those three players pitching-wise have definitely, you know, come out to the field,\u201d Fifita said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Aggies have a current record of 7-7, but they plan to keep winning and even win the conference. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing up this weekend, I think we could very possibly have a 12 and seven record with that intensity that coach Todd does bring us,\u201d said Bunton about games held on March 1. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that we can be a 10, possibly an 11, but as a team, we just got to grow more and be able to become more comfortable and trust each other a little bit more, and I think we\u2019ll be all set,\u201d Bunton said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Aggies are set to play Idaho State University on March 19 and Boise State University on March 22-23; all three games will be in Logan. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is approaching, and Utah State softball is gearing up for the 2024 season.
