Northwestern Softball is dancing yet again, and the Inside NU staff has carefully contemplated how it will fare in the NCAA Tournament. Here are our predictions for the upcoming weekend and beyond:
Sarah Effress: Loss in the Super Regional
This is a less optimistic prediction than I usually would write based on an abundance of caution because I simply don’t want to jinx anything. But realistically, without pitching depth behind Danielle Williams, it’s tough to see NU’s high-powered offense being able to carry itself through to the WCWS. Arizona State is a good team, and making it through the Regional to play in Tempe on ASU’s home turf is not ideal.
