 For the second consecutive year now the BSU softball team will head to Sioux Falls for the NSIC conference tournament. In a double elimination format the Beavers earn the sixth seed and will play three-seated Augustana. Their games earlier this season were cut short after a few innings due to weather. The Vikings feature the conference player of the year in Sarah Kennedy and newcomer of the year in the circle Lexi Peterson but BSU is going in loose and ready to build off last year's two and two showing. One of the things that they said when they left our field was we want to see you guys in the playoffs and we want to see them. I mean we're ready for them. They haven't seen Yoast or any of our other pitchers so I mean that's an advantage for us. We're used to playing double headers so playing single headers in the tournament is really helpful because you can go out and play every game as hard as you can. Last year we had a lot of success and the first day we won two games and didn't play as well as the second day so I mean we have the highs and lows that we can play off of this year. We've never beat them since I've been here so we have a lot riding on this one. The NSIC conference released their all-conference team today. Jessica Yoast was first team and second team was Jessica Burling-Lame and Angie Roberts for the Beavers.
