FEATURED TEAM OF THE WEEK

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

Mascot: Panthers

“MSC is a new club softball team with UWM having completed two seasons of play! We are in the Great-Lakes West conference and can’t wait to get back on the field. Our group of girls is really special and we have just as much fun off the field as we do on it. We love to travel, fundraise at Milwaukee Brewers games, have team dinners, and have other team bonding events together. Our biggest accomplishment is creating a tight-knit and welcoming space for girls at UWM to keep playing the game they love! Can’t wait for next year!”


Fun Facts:

1. Our most memorable (and tiring) tournament was an all-nighter at Northwestern University.

2. We love team dinners, especially Chili Night!

3. We are 1 of 2 registered LLCs within the 24 UWM Sports Clubs.

FEATURED TEAM OF THE WEEK

University of Cincinnati

Cincinnati, OH

Mascot: Bearcats

“We are an up & coming competitive team that is apart of the Great American – South Conference. We have increased our team size from the previous years. So, we are excited to get back on the field & compete. We enjoy practicing together & having a weekend of games against our opponent. In our free time, we attend volunteer sessions with the academy nearby when they hold clinics for the younger kids. Unfortunately, last year our season ended quite quickly. However, we were ranked 17th on the NCSA 2019-2020 Rawlings Top 20.”


Fun Facts: Since our team has increased their numbers of interest within the last two years, we have decided to include a travel roster & a practice roster. We believe including as many girls possible to be apart of our organization will benefit us as a team. Each & every member is important to us on or off the field. We have a wide range of position & outfielder with 5 pitchers currently. In 2019, we made our first appearance in Regionals, we have high hopes in making it this coming Spring Season.

We cannot wait to get back out onto the field and make up for the time lost!!”
