Missouri’s athletics department issued the following statement midway through Saturday’s game:
"In recent weeks we have received complaints concerning our softball program. These complaints have come from both inside and outside the program. In response, the university launched an internal review. The review is ongoing and involves personnel matters, therefore, the University of Missouri and Mizzou athletics will have no other comment at this time."
Earleywine, in his 10th season at Mizzou, was in attendance for Saturday’s game. He declined comment after the game as he walked to his pickup truck. "Not now," he said.
