Next up for the Hornets is a road game in Buffalo against Erie CC this Sunday at 1 p.m.
The BCC women’s softball team competes in the Mid-State Athletic Conference, as well as the National Junior College Athletic Association-Region III.
Recent seasons have been fruitful for the Lady Hornets, as they were Conference champions in 1993 and runner-up in 1994 and 1995, which is commendable given the very strong schedule.
Along with the highly competitive nature of play, our athletes gain desired exposure to the numerous four-year college programs in the immediate area. With one of the finest playing facilities in the Region, Broome is an excellent “next step” for the softball oriented student-athlete.
