Behind the Shield | Megan Nuechterlein

Hey Illini Family!

My name is Megan Nuechterlein, and I am a sophomore pitcher from Macomb, Michigan. This is my first year in Orange and Blue and I could not be happier! I am majoring in recreation, sports, and tourism. 

This past weekend we faced Washington, and our series ended early due to inclement weather. We played a hard-fought game on Friday, but came up short. We were scheduled to face Washington the following day on Saturday, however after the top of the first inning and a few rain delays, the game was cancelled. 

We are looking forward to competing this upcoming week as we face Western Illinois on Tuesday at Eichelberger and will travel to Evanston, Ill., for a series against Northwestern this weekend!

I-L-L !!
