2023 Softball

I was disappointed only 4 teams got in. Maryland, Michigan, OSU and PSU all had RPI in the 40s. Was thinking at-least one of that group would get in.
So Iowa and Maryland get to play in the NIT, but Michigan, OSU and PSU don't play in the postseason? Seems a bit unfair.
I believe we did or would have declined last year. So, very likely that those other teams declined this year, as they would have probably been invited before us.
Meh, survival of the mostly fit..........errr, whatever we would call Iowa softball right now........................................f*** those others teams (and Wisconsin).
With 9 freshman in the 2023 class, you'd certainly think more exits are on the way.
Beat UC Davis 6-3 today. Play SDSU/Terlton State winner tomorrow at 1:00.
Nice comeback after giving up the lead.
For sure! Watching the awards ceremony, I didn't see Vasquez anywhere, so I think that resolves that issue. Banes as the tournament MVP!
What a fun run to end the season!
A great way to end the season. In former Hawkeye news Sarah Lehman pitched 4 no hit innings to start the game for San Diego State as they advanced to the regional final in Los Angeles. They play later today.
What an exciting game for the softball team to win the NISC. They were down three runs in the top of the seventh. Not only that down to the last out, two strikes (twice). They came back to win. A really crazy game. Happy for the softball team!!!!! They deserved the victory but things just had to break their way.
At the expense of #2 seed UCLA. When UCLA only beat Iowa 2-1 I knew they were overrated

Denali Loecker is in the transfer portal. I didn't see her entering the portal. I believe she has one year left of eligibility.
So far between using their 5th year and new portal entries it looks like there are 6 leaving. Anyone missing? I would have thought there would be more with a roster of 27.
Denali Loecker
Emma Henderson
Anna Henderson
Kalena Burns
Nia Carter
Kat Serna
Bree V has used her eligibility so she will not be back. I had not seen anything about Serna transferring but it makes sense as she did not get a lot of playing time. I would assume there will be others transfer or stop playing.
Two great kids. They will both definitely be missed. Will be interesting to see where they land...
Jada Cecil from UC San Diego is in the portal. Big West pitcher and freshman of the year. Was on the Top Ten freshman of the year list. Might be someone to keep an eye on. Coach Gardner was at UCSD last year and I would assume played a role in recruiting her. Hoping we take a look.
Indiana's Taryn Kern, one of the nations top freshman, is in the portal. Doubt if we'd be in contention, but will be a big loss to IU.
