Hartsville, S.C. - After a year hiatus, the Conference Carolinas Softball Tournament will once again return to Hartsville and Coker College in 2009. The Conference Carolinas Athletic Directors accepted Coker College's bid for the 2009 conference softball tournament to be held at Byerly Park, April 16-19, 2009.

In addition to the three days of softball play, the tournament will include a team banquet at Byerly Park featuring live music and food with all the trimmings for all participating teams prior to the start of the tournament.

"We are very excited to have the Conference Carolinas Softball Tournament returning to Hartsville," said Coker Director of Athletics, Tim Griggs. "This is a great event for Coker and the City of Hartsville to host. It brings more exposure to both the city and to the College."

The Coker College Softball Team will begin their 2009 season in February. They are the defending Conference Carolinas regular season champions and they will be looking to retain their title in 2009.
