‘08 Softball Season Preview
The 2008 Season is looking to be very exciting and promising for the Womens Fighting Illini softball team. The team is returning their top 3 homerun hitters from last season- Lana Armstrong, Shanna Diller, and Angelina Mexicano. The freshman class has also been working very hard during fall ball and off season and will be key components to this Illini team. The ladies face an extremely competitive 2008 schedule, facing 8 teams that played in the ‘07 Super Regionals. Although Big 10 season doesnt start until March 30th, they face topnotch competition in the South Florida Tournament, Louisville Sluggers Desert Classic, and the Aggie Classic in Texas until then.
