From the Dugout (Head Coach Chris Stelma)

• It was a great day experiencing playing a Big Ten team. We had a couple real hard hit balls not fall in the 6th. 
• It's nice to see our ladies compete with the best in the area. With the successes we are starting to see as a department…it's an exciting time to be a Peacock!
