Penn State softball blown out yet again in loss to Northwestern

Penn State kicked off the Houston Tournament with a matchup against a fellow Big Ten team long before conference play kicks off.

Playing a team from the Big Ten did not help the Nittany Lions overcome their early season struggle, as Northwestern defeated Penn State in six innings, 13-0.

The Nittany Lions are now 1-13 this season.

The Northwestern offense did not waste any time getting going as Lily Novak drove in a run will a slow rolling infield single to give the Wildcats an early 1-0 lead.

In the bottom of the second, Penn State loaded the bases with two outs, but, in what is a common theme for this struggling team, the Nittany Lions did not drive any of the runs home.
