UIC is playing Milwaukee tomorrow in Dayton for the HL Championship. We only have to win 1. Milwaukee has to beat us twice.
Both UIC and Milwaukee beat #1 WSU today to eliminate them. Huge upset imo...this tourney was totally Wright State’s to lose.
We need to take care of business. WSU has been the better team than us over recent years and we need to make the tourney when we’re the favorite. We have like a 6-1 record against Milwaukee this year and I hope we don’t decide to lose two in a row at the worst possible time, just like UIC softball choked away the HL championship a couple weeks back.
Go Flames! Bring it home!

I was quite surprised when I saw is beat Wright State earlier this day. However, I still figured they’d beat us twice tomorrow to win it all. And then you can imagine my surprise when I saw UWM bear them too.
To be hosting and not make the championship round is a huge disappointment. Especially as the league has been run by them recently.
We had some crazy winning streak against UWM this year until they shaped it with their one win.
Absolutely no way we shouldn’t win at least one tomorrow. Would be a monumental disappointment if we didn’t win the league. But I won’t get too ahead myself - I didn’t think UIC softball would lose two in a row to an inferior Detroit team that they had handled just days before.

I watched it. Great way to end the game. Once Wright State was out of it, I knew we'd win it, whether in one game or two.

Great tournament by UIC. I think we may have a budding star on our hands. Ryan Hampe, HL tourney MVP, was an absolute beast in this final game. Two HRs, including the go-ahead HR in the 7th. Also had an RBI single. And he’s only a freshman. I think at one point he was leading ALL freshmen in batting avg, and may still be in the top few. Led our team in avg as well.
I can’t imagine we’re going to be getting a good draw for the tournament...hopefully we can pull off an upset.

Great tournament.
However as a post to the last time with the tournament I’m not nearly as confident in our chances. The last time out I thought we had the chance to really make some noise and we had some great games against some great teams. However at this time does seem different. It’s great to is a tournament but I’m not expecting too much.
