COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Black Hills State softball has been picked to finish 12th in the RMAC after the conference released its 2022 preseason poll Tuesday afternoon.

The BHSU softball program finished last season with a record of 3-34-1 over 38 games played following a pandemic-shortened 2020 season the year prior.

However, this season projects more optimism than previous years with a mix of returning talent and new faces, as well as a new coaching staff in Head Coach Aubrey Voboril and Assistant Coach Kyle Honeycutt.

The 2022 season begins Saturday, Feb. 26 with a doubleheader against New Mexico Highlands in Las Vegas, N.M.
