Softball Spurned in CCIW Tournament Championship

IWU fell 8-0 at Millikin

DECATUR, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan University softball team was spurned 8-0 by Millikin University in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Tournament Championship Saturday afternoon, May 15, at Workman Family Field. 

The Titans sit at 27-16 on the year and will have to await Monday's NCAA selection show to learn their postseason fate. Meanwhile, Millikin jumped to 31-11 and earned the CCIW's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Illinois Wesleyan could not get things going offensively, as IWU finished with just two hits to MU's 11. 

Sophomores Natalie Grubczak (Medinah, Ill.-Lake Park) and Nina Mardjetko (Lemont, Ill.-Lemont) shouldered the work in the circle. Grubczak got the start and was the pitcher of record. She went the first 3.1 innings, striking out three, while Mardjetko finished off the final two third and fanned one. 

The NCAA Division III selection show will be held Monday, May 17, at 1 p.m. ET and can be viewed here.
