As the Missouri Baptist University softball team continues the 2015 spring season, the seniors reflect on their time spent playing softball and what they want to accomplish in their final semester.
Many events occurring on campus are centered around students. On Friday MBU will strive to serve others as area senior citizens arrive to enjoy lunch and take in a show.
