Oklahoma State softball player Samantha Show sat in a row with her coach and a few of her teammates Saturday night, tear-stained eyes across the board.
The pain of the Cowgirls’ season-ending loss to Washington at the Women’s College World Series was still fresh.
The glow of OSU’s WCWS victory over Florida two days earlier was distant, and the Cowgirls’ accomplishments of the entire season were hard to draw into focus.
Yet Show composed herself to offer deep reflection about her one season with the Cowgirls after transferring from Texas A&M.
It’s hard to measure what she meant to OSU, and vice versa.
