Ferris To Face Some Stiff Competition In Alabama-Huntsville Charger Chillout

BIG RAPIDS - Over the years, Ferris State University softball coach Keri Becker has never been one to duck some tough competition for her Bulldogs.

Last year, the Bulldogs finished 35-10 overall and ranked 22nd in the nation after bowing out in the NCAA Division II Tournament. In spite of graduating five seniors, Becker is hopeful the returning players have gained some confidence after a strong 2009 campaign and the new players she has recruited will continue to perform confidently.

All hands will need to be on deck and playing well from the start as Ferris opens its 2010 campaign against some VERY strong competition in the Alabama-Huntsville Charger Chillout in Decatur, Ala. (Feb. 19-21) this weekend.

"It will be nice to get about six games under our belt for sure," said Becker, who is in her 13th season at Ferris with a record of 383-237-1. "The competition will be stiff. In that respect, it will let us know right where we stand. We play the No. 1 team in the country and some other top teams in the country. We will find out in a hurry where we stand."

Indeed, the lineup is challenging from start to finish as Ferris gets this early-season competition in the month of February.

Here is a rundown of the competition for the Bulldogs in this weekend's tournament:
University of Alabama-Huntsville Charger Chillout
(Feb. 19-21) - Decatur, Alabama

Friday (Feb. 19)
vs. North Alabama @ 12 p.m. (CST) - Field 5
vs. Augusta State (Ga.) @ 2 p.m. (CST) - Field 1

Saturday (Feb. 20)

vs. #5 Indianapolis @ 10 a.m. (CST) - Field 4
vs. #1 Alabama-Huntsville @ 12 p.m. (CST) - Field 4

Sunday (Feb. 21)

vs. West Georgia @ 9 a.m. (CST) - Field 2
vs. Southern Indiana @ 11 a.m. (CST) - Field 2

In many ways, this prestigious tournament is like who's who of Division II college softball with top-ranked Alabama-Huntsville and fifth-ranked Indianapolis (the two opponents of Ferris on Saturday).
