It was a tough weekend for the Bobcats at the UC Spring Invitational.
Just before the Ohio softball team’s California road trip, pitcher and designated hitter Emily Wethington broke the school’s all-time record for strikeouts. On the last day of the trip, in the first game of a double-header, the senior broke the all-time record for career home runs.
Senior Annie Beecham is one of the unquestioned leaders of the Ohio track and field team, and she added another feat to her decorated career this weekend.
For the first time this season, Ohio took a road trip headed in a direction other than south. The change in temperature caused Ohio and Ball State’s bats to head south, too.
DeAndre Kane drove left, faking out Reggie Keely to give himself space for one final shot. As it hit the top of its arc and fell toward the basket with four seconds to play, the outset of both teams’ season hinged on the outcome of the shot.
Much like P. Diddy and Skylar Grey, Ohio is coming home and will look to duplicate the success of the past weekend when the team went 2-1 against Tennessee Tech.

As Asown Sayles waited to be announced with Ohio’s other three seniors on Senior Day, he couldn’t hold back a smile.
Watching as the seconds ticked off the clock in Ohio’s 4-2 semifinal loss Tuesday, I kept thinking about what coach Dan Morris said to me at the beginning of the season — this was the most talented hockey team he had ever assembled.
The mismatch between Toledo and Ohio was personified by the matchup between D.J. Cooper and Zack Leahy. The former is a conference player of the year candidate; the latter, a walk-on for a four-win team.

Coming off a strong performance against Northern Illinois, Ohio knows it’s one
