After half a decade and over 1,100 combined games, the curtain has finally closed.
For Northwestern’s five super seniors, last Sunday’s loss to Alabama was the last time that they would ever wear purple and white. It was a moment that everyone knew was coming, yet no one wanted to admit it. It’s difficult to think of Northwestern softball without Danielle Williams, Jordyn Rudd, Maeve Nelson, Nikki Cuchran and Skyler Shellmyer. It is also hard to put into words what the Class of 2018 means to the program, but as the five pillars of this era of NU softball say goodbye to the J and Evanston, their legacy is forever ingrained into history.
