After a stellar 3-0 performance at the South Bend Regional, where the Hittin' Kittens nixed Northwestern, blanked Ball State and neutered the Notre Dame offense, the Cats are back in action this weekend. The foe is a familiar one: reigning national champion and consensus #1 Florida. The prize: a trip to the Women's College World Series. Can the Cats get past the Gators for their 2nd trip to OKC?
Watching the Hittin' Kittens this year provided the knowledgeable UK fan with serious 2011 flashbacks: stellar young talent combined with a few highly skilled seniors that simply could not sustain success in the regular season, somehow manage to step in up in the post season to make an incredible run against vaunted competition.
