Not how we thought the season would end this year, but what a run it was. This team was special. The best start in program history at 22-2 and the longest active winning streak in Division 1 softball at 18 games.
You know what they say "Don't let the Colonels get hot".
You want to talk about an all around amazing athlete and human being?
She's just the fourth Colonel to be named PLAYER OF THE YEAR, but the first-ever outfielder!
All the congrats,
@lilmurph30
! Continue shocking the world.
With her performance today,
@lilZmihalicz
becomes just the 14th player in NCAA history to hit two grand slams in the same game! She is the second player in OVC history. And the first ever Colonel to do it!

If you aren't proud of this time then you aren't doing life right. This squad staged not one, but TWO come-from-behind wins to win it.
