Hi Illini FamILLy, 

My name is Lauren Wiles and I am a sophomore pitcher from Greenville, North Carolina. I am a psychology major here at the U of I. 

We just wrapped up our non-conference tour last week and we're ready to demolish conference play starting this upcoming weekend. We've been in the lab working every day to improve our game. This team is special. We are tough, relentless, and we have heart. Our super-senior fifth year class has done a great job leading the way and with some up-and-coming freshmen talent, we are very well rounded. Our defense, offense, and pitching are something you'll want to come to Eichelberger Field to see for yourself!

We start this week with a midweek home game against Bradley, on Wednesday, March 22 at 5pm. We are rolling into our first conference series this weekend March 24-26 at home against Rutgers. You don't want to miss the start of our journey to Illinois Softball's first B1G Championship. See you at Eichelberger Field this week! 

ILL
