The ’06 UI Softball team has had a rough time of it this year. Their mark of 8-11 conference and 24-30 overall was probably not what they were looking for this year. They were quite streaky, losing three or four in a row a few times during the season.
But starting this afternoon, they have a chance to redeem themselves. They have earned the last seed in the Big Ten tournament. Play will begin when they take on the Northwestern Wildcats today at 4:30pm in Evanston.
But Jenna Hall and Co. will have their work cut out for them. The Wildcats are the No. 1 seed. Add to that the fact that they will be playing on their home turf. No double-elimination like the baseball tourney so it’s do-or-die.
Here is the Big Ten Tournament page.
Good luck, women!
