The Leatherneck offense struggled, mustering two hits in two games.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. ­– The Western Illinois University Fighting Leatherneck softball team played on Saturday (Feb. 19), falling to Wichita State and Illinois in two games at the Razorback Invitational, hosted by the University of Arkansas. Western moves to 2-7 on the season and has two more games remaining in the tournament.

Lilli Weir started in the circle for Western Illinois, going three innings and allowing eight hits and five earned runs while striking out one. Maddy Anderson came in for one inning of relief and struck out two Shockers while allowing two earned runs. Offensively, Ami Ill tied for the team-lead with her sixth hit of the season, getting on base with a fourth-inning single to the right side. Savannah Rodriguez followed Ill's hit with a single of her own, adding to her team-leading .286 average in the process. Kaylie Reynolds added a walk as the Leatherneck offense was unable to produce a run.
 
Game two: Western Illinois 0 – 7 Illinois

Ami Ill managed to get on base in the seventh inning after a fielding error by the Fighting Illini shortstop. Abby Carlin started in the circle, allowing two hits and two runs (two earned runs) while striking out three across 15 batters faced. Savannah Rodriguez entered the game in relief in the fifth inning, pitching two innings before Emily Price would face the final six Illini batters in the seventh inning as Western fell 7-0.
