Softball Defeats Illinois 3-2 in Big Ten Tourney
Jerry Lai-USA TODAY SportsPurdue moves on to the quarterfinals to face Northwestern.
It is really, really slow this time of year, so we might as well glean some news out of the women’s softball team, which advanced in the single elimination Big Ten Tournament today with a 3-2 win over Illinois.
Despite being the No. 12 seed the Boilers will face Northwestern in tomorrow’s quarterfinals at noon at Ohio State. The Boilers scored a run in the first on a groundout, but fell behind 2-1 after a home run in the bottom of the inning. Lilly Fecho would give up nothing else the rest of the way.
