Congrats to the Mizzou Women's Softball Team

No, the Tigers didn't win the Women's College World Series but they played extremely well before being eliminated from this year's NCAA Women's College World Series.

The Tigers tried to bounce back from an opening round defeat to Florida by winning their way through the consolation bracket. They defeated fellow Big 12 conference team Oklahoma and eliminated the Sooners. But, then the Tigers ran into outstanding pitching from Big 12 member Baylor and ultimately lost 1-0 in 13 innings. That ended the Tigers season at 49-12.

This was the third consecutive trip to the WCWS for Mizzou. And the team took a step this year they hadn't taken previously by knocking another team out of the tournament. So, with that to build on the future looks bright for the Mizzou women and Head Coach Ehren Earleywine.

Go Mizzou Women's Softball

If you've been asleep all week, the Missouri Tigers women's softball team is back in the NCAA Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City. How did they get there you ask? Good question.

The Tigers qualified for the regional tournament and came back through the elimination round to beat DePaul twice and advance to the NCAA Super-Regional, which just happened to be held in Columbia. The Tigers then demolished the Washington Huskies of the Pac-Ten in two straight.

Up next is Missouri against Florida. The Tigers bring in a slightly better record than the Gators, but the Gators play in the always tough SEC. Still, don't sell Mizzou short. They played a rugged season in the Big 12 and saw some really good teams. How Good? Well, four of the eight teams in the College World Series are from the Big 12. (Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and the Tigers are all there).

The Tigers have been blanked in the previous two tournaments bowing out after two games in each of the tourneys. But, I have a good feeling this year is going to be different. So with that in mind let me say: Go Tigers. M-I-Z Z-O-U!

All Good Things Must Come to an End

The Missouri Women's Softball season came to a close this afternoon with a 5-0 loss to the Florida Gators. It was their second loss in the double elimination Women's College World Series. The Tigers had previously lost a heart breaker to Hawaii on Thursday 3-2.

The team ends the year with a record of 51-13. But, as a Mizzou alum I am very proud of these ladies and the way they represented our university. After key injuries earlier this year the squad could have packed it in. But, that never happened. Coach Ehren Earleywine and the team excelled and reached the Mecca of college softball for the second consecutive season. Let's hope next year they can make it back to Oklahoma City again. M-I-Z Z-O-U RAH!!!

Mizzou Headed to Womens College World Series

Congratulations to the Missouri Tigers Women's Softball team. The ladies are headed back to Oklahoma City this weekend for their second straight appearance in the NCAA Women's College World Series. The Tigers beat Oregon 7-2 on Sunday afternoon to advance to the National Championship Tournament.

The Tigers will face Hawaii on Thursday in their first round game. Go get 'em Tigers!

MIZ-ZOU RAH!!!

Congrats to the Mizzou Women's Softball Team

Congratulations to the Missouri University women's softball team which is one game away from a return trip to the NCAA Women's College World Series. The ladies defeated Oregon 1-0 today in a Super-Regional game played on the Mizzou campus in Columbia. If they win either Sunday or Monday, if the game is needed, they will head back to the WCWS. Way to go Lady Tigers!!!

M-I-Z-Z-O-U!!!
