Spring Sports Update: Big Ten Title Looming?
This spring we have mostly concentrated on what the baseball team is doing, but many of the other spring sports at Purdue are doing extremely well. Here is a quick update on each:
Softball
A strong finish by the women’s softball team was enough to qualify for the Big Ten Tournament in Ann Arbor starting on Friday. Purdue swept Nebraska this past weekend to finish the regular season 20-35 and 9-14 in the Big Ten. The sweep was a bookend to an otherwise dismal Big Ten season. Purdue started the Big Ten campaign by sweeping Michigan State at home. It then went 3-14 in the middle 17 games of the conference slate before sweeping Nebraska.
