Carol Hutchins reflects on legendary career, stadium dedication

Before Game 2 of the Northwestern series, the Michigan Wolverines softball team officially unveiled its stadium’s new moniker — Alumni Field at Carol Hutchins Stadium, or “The Hutch” for short.

Accompanied by family, friends and almost two dozen former players, Hutchins was there to see the unveiling and admitted to a wave emotions following the 15-0 victory.

“It’s just really humbling,” Hutchins said. “You want your student-athletes to have an amazing experience when they come here, but no one’s had it more amazing than me. So I just wanted to get through it without getting emotional and tried to enjoy the moment.
