absolute proof in this game how this is a game of inches
UNO first batter of the game hits a dribbler that TK can only reach with the tip of her glove but not stop it
if TK fields that ball UNO never scores
in our final at bat Jocelyn leads off with maybe the hardest hit ball of the game. UNO CF charging with nobody behind her basically catches the ball with her bare hand as it is sinking hard. if that ball is maybe one inch lower it probably goes to the wall and Jocelyn is on second or maybe third with nobody out
the effort for these girls is unquestionable!!!! i am sure they are disappointed and had their sights set on a return to their 3rd consecutive ncaa. they came up a bit short, basically because of one perfectly hit ball from USD
one third of an inning pitched with a slick ball
and one excellent game in the circle from one of the best pitchers in the country
Congratulations ladies! you have definitely lifted this program to totally new heights and expectationsComment

Jacks are invited to the Softball version of the WNIT. the National Invitational Softball Championship is owned by Triple Crown Sports. maybe i remember wrong, but i am pretty sure that TCS also does own the WNIT
the WNIT is a 64 team field, but the NSIC is only 8 teams
not going to try to explain all but they play double elim down to the final two teams in the winner bracket and the final two in the loser bracket. then the final 4 play single elim
in other words if the jacks can win their first two games they are in the final 4
the jacks play Tarleton St at 1pm mountain time (tourney is played on site in Ft Collins, CO on two fields)
we played Tarleton 2x already this year won 11-0 and 10-2 the first weekend in March
the article only lists Maryland as top seed but does not have seeds for the other 7 teams
it would appear
Maryland is the 1
Jacks are 2
BYU 3
Iowa 4
in the final RPI
Maryland was 49 and the Jacks were 50 (not gonna say for sure i am correct, but i believe we started the season at either 45 or 48)
BYU 57
Iowa 64
San Jose St 110
UC Davis 124
I could not find CSU Northridge and Tarleton
FWIW UNO was 97 in the final RPI
More FWIW
Jacks did beat Final RPI 17 Baylor this year and nearly beat them 2x
Final RPI 19 Central Arkansas once and nearly 2x
Final RPI 20 Wichita St had them down 3-1 going into bottom of 7
anyway there is ABSOLUTELY ZERO reason for the jacks to go into this tourney expecting anything less than a championship!!!
last years NSIC champs Baylor was the only team to beat Oklahoma this year and, as I already said finished this season 17 in the final regular season RPIComment

There has got to be something more to this story. Never heard about an injury all year. Never saw her in the dugout or any team pictures. Unfortunately this isn't overly surprising but sad we lost both the Roosevelt girls after Krista Wood left.Originally posted by MontanaRabbit View PostComment

comparing what Grace did the previous years and the season Shannon had this year, Grace is a better pitcher than Shannon so that seems, not impossible, but unlikely. i am not trying to take anything away from Shannon or what she did this year. she is a solid #2 pitcher and from everything i have heard a good teammate! one other fact, Grace did start our second game of the year and pitched the following day. we have not seen her since then, so it appears, up to the point that she was around the team, she was still one of our top 2 pitchersOriginally posted by jacks1 View Post
Grace was the clear third best pitcher in the conference last year (i know she won Pitcher of the year. that was based on stats, but i think every coach knows that TK and Meyer are 1 and 2) Shannon probably comes in a little bit lower in the ranking.Comment
