Season

While the Tide loses two-time SEC Player of the Year Charlotte Morgan along with 2010 senior leaders Alex Blewitt and Jessica Smith, Alabama returns nine starters from a team that won the Southeastern Conference regular season and tournament championships en route to claiming the number one overall seed in the NCAA Division I tournament. The Crimson Tide softball team only has two seniors this season, Kelsi Dunne and Whitney Larsen. In the annual Southeastern Conference coaches preseason poll, the Crimson Tide was picked to win the 2011 SEC Softball title. [3] The Crimson Tide also landed three players on the Preseason All-SEC team; Kelsi Dunne, Whitney Larsen, and Kayla Braud.
