Our softball team did just enough to get to the finals of the Big 12 tournament. In game one, Megan Gibson's two-hit shutout (her 17th of the year) and Holly Ridley's 4th inning homer (her 5th of the year) squeezed us past Iowa State 1-0. Similar story in the the semis against Texas. Megan Gibson allowed allowed only 1 run, and Rhiannon Kliesing hit a 2 run shot (her 2nd of the year): 3-1 good guys.

Next up, Nebraska at Noon. We took both games in Lincoln this year: 6-0 and 6-3.

We nearly swept the Big 12 awards. Congrats to: Megan Gibson for being the first player to ever win both Big 12 player of the year and Big 12 pitcher of the year in the same year; Jo Evans for Big 12 coach of the year; Megan Gibson, Jamie Hinshaw, Jami Lobpries, Alex Reynolds, and Holly Ridley for Big 12 first team honors; and Natalie Villarreal for Big 12 second team honors.
