Now pushing soccer and mbb as best program at NT.

Amazing, considering all the injuries, not only the pitchers; but a lot of others that may have been good enough to start.

This team is primarily sophomores, and should be a force the next couple of years.  Keep team intact and add a couple of super-stars and watch out.

Is there a replay available?

I don't know but you might check CBS Sports Network to see if they will replay it later.

Just a great team to watch. Met the Rainey's, proud parents of the CUSA tournament MVP. Man, did they have a lot to celebrate. And so did everyone else at the Lace.

 

Congrats, ladies!

How does WKU merit 5 on the all tournament team after losing two games in the tournament?

NT had three on the team. 

Who votes on this stuff?

You mean talent doesn't always win titles?! Do coaches realize this?

All star teams should be based on performance not talent.

My guess is that this team was selected before the championship game.

The pitcher Nunn who made the all tournament team gave up 11 earned runs in 15 innings.  I am not positive how softball era is computed, but that should be over a 7.00 era.

They also had a player (Drinnon) that got 2 hits in 13 at bats.

WKU also had players selected with  tournament batting averages of two with .400 and one .300 chosen.   NT had two hitters that hit over .500 that didn't make the all tournament team.  

Minor thing perhaps when compared with winning the tournament.  However, I can think of no valid rationale for choosing 5 WKU players for the all tournament team.  Particularly, when the championship team that run ruled WKU only had three despite having better stats.

@Brett VitoThis might be a good story to investigate. Maybe this is their way to say thank you to Western Kentucky for not leaving the conference. One more thing that makes CUSA and Judy look like a joke

Couldn’t agree more and wondering the same thing.  WKY played two more games than we did.  Maybe the committee forgot what they were watching and voting on? No idea?   But Nunn couldn’t even make it out of the first inning yesterday with a single out for Christ sakes? 
 

This team started one Senior, two Juniors(including Peters), 5 Sophomores and two Freshmen.  What they accomplished this season, AFTER losing Trautwine, then losing two other pitchers and having only two arms most of the season is incredible to me.

Now a very young team gets to taste the next level with a coach that knows what he’s doing and sits on the opportunity to build a major force in this sport.  I’ve always felt that due to our location we could become the next LaLa.  Is it possible we are well on our way?

 

it’s All Good And All Green(well, black uni’s for softball, but whatever works for now).

Anyone care to guess, prior to the selection, where we end up going and who the opponent will be?

I saw a projection that we would end up in the Norman regional next weekend, which would be an easy travel location. I have no idea how college postseason baseball/softball works though.

A timeless sportsball debate.  Love it!

Revisited this after the big win. Hoping we can hang onto him, but he might have more than a few schools calling after this. Especially if we can win a game or two in the regionals/super regionals.

Did you know coach DeLong makes almost as much as Big12 champ,  OKSt coach Kenny Gajewski?
Coach DeLong's base salary is actually higher than Gajewski's.   $140k/yr.   VS   $120k/yr

It would take a pretty heavy-hitting power program to come through.
