Binghamton University's softball team is picked to win the America East conference, after being crowned regular season champions the past two seasons.

The Bearcats were last season's top ranked team heading into the America East tournament, but finished third overall. The team has chosen to not dwell on the past, and is looking forward to 2018.

"Last season was last season, so I think we're really just looking forward right now. We've got a long ways to go before we get to conference so I think we're kind of going to go one game at a time, said Head Coach Michelle Johnston."

Binghamton kicks off its season in Texas on Friday against Alabama A&M.
