The 2021 season was one unlike any other. As a team, we faced unprecedented situation after unprecedented situation as we tried to play amidst a worldwide pandemic. Together our team was put to the test to keep ourselves in a bubble as much as we could — daily PCR and antigen testing, not being allowed to play teams out of our conference and playing 4-to-6 games every weekend. While any program understandably could have looked at these obstacles as burdensome negatives, we — the Northwestern softball team — chose to look at them in a positive light. All of the sacrifices we made as a team only brought us closer together and made us stronger as individuals.
