EVANSTON, Ill. -- The University of Iowa softball team battled but dropped a doubleheader to Northwestern on Saturday at Drysdale Field. The Hawkeyes fall to 9-25 on the season and 1-9 in Big Ten action with the loss.
“We kept fighting back,” said UI head coach Marla Looper. “Our girls don’t have any quit. That’s what I told them. I’m proud of the fact that they don’t quit. We have to continue to pluck away and eventually we are going to come out on the winning end of this.”
Four Iowa home runs were not enough to lift the Hawkeyes past the Wildcats in game one.
