Right now the NSU softball team is in midair heading toward Las Vegas for the UNLV tournament. The team will actually play games today.
The squad has been through some long hours in the last few days.
As noted earlier, Tuesday, the team attended the funeral in Lafayette for the father of freshman outfielder "Tay" Edmonds.
The bus left NSU for Lafayette at 6 a.m.; of course that meant a very early wakeup for the group as they had to dress appropriately for the service.
The team got back to campus about 1:30, then worked hard to get the Demon Diamond in playable condition after heavy rains in the morning. The doubleheader vs. ULM wrapped up shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday night in cold weather.
After going to class and practicing Wednesday, the team prepared to travel today.
The bus pulled off campus at 4 a.m. for the trip to the airport. The Demons' second game tonight should finish, if the tournament runs on schedule (and thankfully, there is rarely rain in Las Vegas, although high winds might create some problems today), Northwestern will finish playing about 11 tonight (CST).
Pity the girls who can't sleep on a plane!
