NCAA Softball Highlights: Aces vs. Missouri State

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) – A must watch! Here’s our NCAA Softball Highlights of Aces vs. Missouri State.

After the game, we caught up with Aces softball, after their thrilling 6-5 walk-off win over the Bears! Here’s what they had to say:

“Wow, I am just filled with so much excitement. My teammates really came through in that last inning,” said Jenna Nink, who hit the game-winning home run. “We knew this was really gonna be a fight, and we just tried to put the pressure on every inning. Brooke Voss did a great job starting that inning off, and then Jess Willsey behind her, doing a great job of just getting on. I was really excited. It was 3-1, so I was just trying to hunt something good, and it was there and it just found the barrel.”

“I told her I said, it’s 3-1, get your money’s worth,” said Aces softball head coach, Mat Mundell. “Like go ahead, if it’s your pitch, just put a good swing on it and she got the pitch she wanted and she drove it hard. We’re down to two outs there, but we did it a couple weeks ago in the first game of that series, where Zoe Frossard did the same thing, got on, and we were able to get it. I think they’re just starting to really have confidence in each other, knowing like hey if I’m not gonna get it done, the next girl can.”

During Nink’s interview, Hannah Hood and Taylor Howe doused Nink with a well-deserved water cooler shower! UE will honor its seven seniors on Saturday, as the Aces and Bears play at 2 p.m.
