BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 7 seeded Indiana Softball fell to No. 2 seeded and No. 18 ranked Northwestern in Friday's Big Ten Tournament Quarterfinals at Andy Mohr Field, 2-0.
KEY MOMENTS
• Indiana sophomore Taylor Lambert led off the game with a walk, but was left stranded.
• IU once again got on base in the second on a one-out single by junior Katie Lacefield before a double play ball ended the inning.
• The Wildcats used a two-out RBI single by Jordyn Rudd to take a 1-0 lead in the third frame as she plated Maeve Nelson with a hit to center field.
• Northwestern added on to its lead in the fifth as Nikki Cuchran singled back to the circle to score Morgan Nelson.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
• Senior Tara Trainer took the loss, but did toss a solid outing as she allowed just three hits and struck out two.
• Junior Emily Goodin saw 1.1 innings of action, allowing just hit and one run and striking out one.
• Northwestern freshman Danielle Williams earned the win, tossing a complete game.
• Indiana moves to 36-21 on the season while Northwestern improves to 43-9.
• The teams played in front of a crowd of 1,320, which is a single day attendance record at Andy Mohr Field.
HEAD COACH SHONDA STANTON
"Again, an incredible job by the staff and this has been a tremendously run Big Ten Tournament so hat's off to everybody that has helped Indiana Softball put on a great show here. What an incredible game – that was a hard-fought battle and you have to tip your hat to Northwestern. Williams is something special in the circle there. Early, we did a pretty good job sticking to the game plan and had some really solid contact.
When you look at this stadium and what you saw back-to-back days, I really feel Team 45 and now Team 46 have created and changed what people think about Indiana Softball."."
UP NEXT
The Hoosiers will now await Sunday night's NCAA Tournament Selection Show to find out if they made the field of 64. The show will be broadcast at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
