Quarterfinal action of the MAC Tournament saw the 2nd seeded Ohio Bobcats slip past the #3 seed Norther Illinois, 1-0. The only offense of the game came in the bottom of the 1st on an RBI single by Mikayla Cooper. Pitcher Savannah Jo Dorsey went all 7 innings and had a dazzling performance in a shutout and striking out 14.

The Bobcats will compete in the Semifinal today against the #4 seeded Kent State.

Championship bound! Today the #2 seed Bobcats defeated #4 seed Kent State 2-0 in the semifinal. They will play at 1pm against the winner of Northern Illinois and Kent State. If the Bobcats win, they will be deemed the MAC Champion, but if the lose, then they will play a second winner take all game right after.

Freshman Madi Huck 4-5(Delaware, Ohio Delaware Hayes) threw seven scoreless innings and junior Holley Speers(Surrey, B.C. Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary School) doubled in the top of the eighth inning to bring home the only run of the game, as Kent State defeated No. 2 Ohio, 1-0.

The Ohio Offense has been in a coma like state during the MAC tourney and this time even with their great pitcher, Savannah Jo Dorsey/Grove City,Ohio/ Central Crossing High School. Dorsey had gone 29 innings in the tourney without giving up a run.

I watched this one on ESPN3.

Yup, 3-0. So, unlikely OU will qualify for the NCAA tournament, but still a possibility.

The Bobcats season is officially over as they did not receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, after practically giving away the MAC title.

Correction: The Bobcats season is not actually over, although they did not make the field in the NCAA Tournament, they were selected for the Postseason NSIC tournament. They will receive a first round bye and will play their first game tomorrow against the winner of Iona and Campbell at 4pm in Lynchburg, VA as the regional they are in is hosted by Liberty University.

In their opening game of the NISC Postseason Tournament, the Bobcats downed Iona 5-1 in Lynchburg. Their next game will either be against host Liberty or UNC Wilmington tomorrow at 3pm.

In the second round of the NSIC Postseason tournament, the Bobcats lost to host Liberty 3-0. Which means, OU will move into the loser's bracket, still with a chance to make it out of the regional. They will play UNC Wilmington on Thursday.

After falling to Liberty on Wednesday, the Bobcats came back to earn a 1-0 victory over UNC Wilmington to keep their season alive. Then in the afternoon session, playing with their backs against the wall, they defeated host Liberty in an extended contest in 12 innings, 1-0. Then, the nightcap, winner take all regional championship game, OU's season came to an end as they fell to top seed Liberty in a thriller, 4-3.

Great season for OU as they racked up over 40 wins.
