hard way to end the season for UND.

Summit league played their softball tournament over 4 days while the Big Sky planned theirs over 3 days.  I am not sure what the Big Sky conference was thinking about when they know weather, lack of lights, and a 6 team double elimination tournament is hard to pull off over 3 days.  Tough way for UND and the other 2 teams to have their seasons end that way.

Kind of a terrible way to decide an autobid: change the rules in the middle of a tournament*. 

If teams had known going it it would effectively be single-elimination would they have used their pitching differently? Would it have changed the outcome? 

 

*Imagine going to a Frozen Faceoff and hearing, "Folks, the Zamboni broke down and we can't get parts until Monday. Knowing we can't resurface the ice we'll just have a five-round sudden death shoot-out between the teams to decide the autobid."  <---  @MafiaMan head explodes here.

Sad ending to the Big Sky in softball for us. C U at the Summit!

Seems like the SL knows how to do tournaments better, they just have a hard time keeping teams.

You think we are a keeper.

If things play out like this year at least we would be playing in Fargo (would be great if we earned the home field)come conference tournament time. A chance for local folks to watch a tournament game

The women beat Rutgers today for their seventh straight win.  Granted, many of their wins are against MEAC and SWAC schools and Rutgers, but a great start.

lets see how long this continues
