Cobra Corner
The Cobras missed out on the 2024 South Atlantic Conference but will look to change that in the 2025 season. With a core group returning from last season and the addition of some new key pieces, Coach Bennet is psyched up about the group she has underneath her.
Last year, the Cobras split the home series with FMU, with the Cobras taking an 8-2 win in game one and suffering an 11-1 loss in game two. This time around, they face the test of heading on the road to play a Top-15 team in the country. The Cobras have the chance to make a big statement to open up the season with both of these series and will look to come back to Hartsville with as many wins as possible.
