The Crusaders in just their second year of softball competition advanced to the Mid-East Region championship game losing to Union University in the title game.

After falling into the loser's bracket in the tournament with an opening round loss to Ohio Christian, Temple battled their way to the title game. They defeated Covenant 9-0 to keep their season alive. Pope had two hits and two RBI's in that game. They avenged their earlier loss to Ohio Christian in the semifinals with a 5-1 victory earning the spot in the title game. Pope led the way with a pair of hits (a single and a triple) and three RBI's.

Tennessee Temple, after struggling in their first season, bounced back in year two and finished the year 26-19.

Pope batted .474 for the year with an on-base percentage of .500. She had 55 hits, three of which were homeruns, and 35 RBI's.

Coach Randy Crawford commented on Pope, "Raven leads by example for our team. She is always hustling and loves to play the game. In addition to her offensive stats, she has a powerful arm. From centerfield, she threw out six runners at the plate and three at third this season."
