Cats really needed that! Hopefully, she can build confidence for a stretch run. Need more than one reliable pitcher.
Yep. The big disappointment on the season has been Dvorak, and I don't know what became of Boyd. The freshman, Curry, was highly recruited, but has only made a brief appearance, so it's tough to evaluate her. So, lets go Supple! :)

Real yawner today for the 'Cats 9 zip, to complete the sweep of Iowa. Danielle got the win with a 5 inning shutout.

I like yawners when we're doing the yawning. Great job, Lady Cats looking good!

Supple's shutout was good news but Iowa is the worst team in the conference (last place at 2-18) . Hopefully she can use the game as a springboard against better teams

Supple still had some control issues in that game but hopefully she can build on her success this weekend at Minnesota.

Ironic to clinch on a day when you are run-rule shut out......

Another run rule loss today(Saturday) may not bode well for the post season especially with only one reliable pitcher

Cats hold on to salvage the final game of the Minnesota series 3 to 1.Danielle Williams with a 4 hit complete game.Cats scored all their runs in the 1st inning and it held up.Got tense in the bottom of the 7th with Minny having the tying run on second with one out,but DW got out of the jam.Cats off till Thursday when they will play in the big tourney.Looks like we will play the winner of the8/9 game which will be between Wiscy and Minny.The way Minny plays us I hope we face the Badgers.GO CATS!!!

Deservedly so.Danielle is one of the main reasons NU is the top ranked team in the BIG and the regular season BIG champion.She is really our only reliable pitcher and has carried her team all season when she is in the circle.The only thing that has me worried in the BIG tourney and when we go to the regionals is how much DW can pitch.A truly great year for her.She deserves this award.

I believe that NU Softball sells t-shirts that read "You Wish that You Could Throw Like a Girl." Not sure that Ms. Lewis would be offended or feel slighted for indeed, she can play. . .

Cats take the lead in the bottom of the fifth on a wild pitch to Rachel Lewis who was being intentionally walked. Good thing this isn’t MLB.Williams in the circle for us.One hit shutout so far with three outs to go.NU 1 Mich 0.

Stinks although Williams pitching 1 less game isn't the worst thing.

Yep, a blessing in disguise. Cats already won the B1G, need to focus on the Tournament. A shame they don't have a quality second pitcher but c'est la vie....
