Well, that’s a wrap of my time @UBSpectrum.

Three years felt like the blink of an eye, but I’m incredibly grateful for everything this scrappy college newspaper taught me.

As a kid, I always dreamed of doing something impactful. I’m so proud of all the work we did together.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: UB hires a coach, who becomes successful and leaves the Queen City for a bigger program.

If that rings a bell, it’s because it’s happened a lot recently: Nate Oats, Lance Leipold and now, Felisha Legette-Jack.

Led by @AlexisLucyshyn and @oliviakincanon, UB softball is off to its best start since 2014.

“Everyone’s ready to play,” Lucyshyn said. “We’re focused and determined. Even during the week, coming to these practices, everyone is ready to keep working.”

Jim Whitesell’s direct, profanity-laced coaching style may come as a surprise to people who don’t closely follow his team.

But the motivation behind his seemingly permanent scowl is clear: he aims to prepare his guys for the intensity of postseason play.
