Season's over
Softball
Akron capped a tailspin end to its season with a 2-0 home loss to Central Michigan.
The Zips (17-25, 7-11 MAC) had a chance to earn a berth in the five-team MAC Tournament but were swept in the season's last two series.
They tried to do it with first-year head coach Julie Jones, who I have heard is a disciplinarian to say the least. The team loses five seniors, none of whose names I recognize as being major contributors.
Baseball
Akron lost this weekend's series with Ohio, with both teams dealing alternating blowout losses.
The Zips are 20-19 and 6-12 in the MAC after dropping two games to the Bobcats, one of the conference's worst teams.
Track
Many Zips performed well at this weekend's Campbell-Wright Open.
Hopefully, it served as good preparation for next weekend's MAC Championships at Miami (Ohio).
