Jackson, TN—Union’s Softball team opens their season at home on Monday 19. The Lady Bulldogs will play NCAA Div. II opponent Delta State University in a double-header beginning at 2:00 PM.

The Lady Bulldog Softball program will enter the 2001 season reloaded and ready for another run at the NAIA World Series. They are ranked No. 5 in the Preseason NAIA Poll. Union finished last season with a 53-6 record, the TranSouth Conference title and a third place finish in the Region XI Tournament. The Lady Bulldogs lost three position players and one pitcher but have added key recruits to fill those positions. Union will look to defend their TranSouth conference title for the third consecutive season. This is a good team with good depth and will be a serious contender for a trip back to the NAIA World Series in Decatur, Alabama, their previous trip coming in 1999.
