Softball: Seniors experience special atmosphere for Senior Day despite loss

Although the Wisconsin softball team was unable to get a win when they hosted Nebraska this weekend, it was still a special experience for the Badgers’ three seniors.

After dropping both games in Saturday’s doubleheader against the Cornhuskers, Wisconsin took on Nebraska Sunday in front of a sellout crowd that was treated to a ceremony before the game honoring Badger seniors Marissa Mersch, Maria Van Abel and Megan Tancill.

Unfortunately for the Badgers, Nebraska catcher Steph Pasquale soured the celebration quickly, hitting a three-run home run in the top of the first inning to give the Cornhuskers a 3-0 lead in would eventually turn into a 9-0 victory.
