Sophomore Paul Snieder and his teammates had just dropped the finale of their three-game series at Penn State, a 6-5 nailbiter that thwarted Northwestern’s attempt at a sweep, and they were in the midst of a ten-hour ride back to Evanston. But if they felt dejected after the loss, one would never know it from the rollicking atmosphere on the bus.
After all, the Wildcats had pocketed two impressive wins and taken their first Big Ten series.
“We’re really not that down,” Snieder said. “Of course we wanted the sweep, but we played well and won the series. Guys are pretty happy right now.”
NU won the first two games of the series before falling Sunday, and coach Paul Stevens said the team was pleased with that result.
