Just like that, the magic is over.
Failing to make good on preseason expectations that saw them potentially going as far as the Women’s College World Series, Mizzou Softball season ended on Sunday when the Tigers lost 1-0 to the University of Arizona. It was the Tigers second loss to ‘Zona on the weekend.
It’s a disappointing end, to be sure. After all, expectations were high, and the Tigers were playing well leading into the tournament. In the final weeks of the season, the Tigers charged into a host’s spot by storming the SEC Championship game.
Despite the less-than-expected end result, as Karen mentioned in her story, Larissa Anderson applauded her team for their efforts.
