After posting a 22-30 record in Melyssa Lombardi's first season as head coach, the Ducks are looking to return to the postseason behind a deeper pitching staff and more experienced lineup. Head Coach Melyssa Lombardi, Jordan Dail and Haley Cruse met with the media on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the upcoming season.
