I remember that 1994 run. Side note: a girl I grew up with was on the team. Played softball at UA also. Growing up she played in the boys league in all sports well up into ages 13-14 from what I remember. Basketball, soccer and even played baseball on our boys teams.

I remember that 1994 run.

Wild. I was thinking about that earlier when I was moving this article.

That '94 team was coached by Rick Moody. Alabama plays Florida State, get this, in the Moody Center in Austin: means nothing...but, it's a little weird.

Best wishes to our ladies team! Hopefully, they can win a couple of games before the heavy hitters take over.
