"We could not be happier for Karlie and her family, " commented Illinois Chill coach, Pat Morris, "her dedication, commitment, perseverance and attitude will fit in well in the country's toughest academic conference.

It's a game of inches. Or in this case, a game of 2 minutes 47 seconds, rain and travel schedules.
Chill in Winners' Bracket of PGF National Qualifier, up 4-2 against Rockers "Mo" after four lead changes in the Championship game of the Winners' Bracket, with 2 minutes 47 seconds left and two outs and Rockers batting when the rains came, suspending the tournament for the day.
Unfortunately, due to travel schedules, the Chill had to hit the road to Colorado, leaving satisfied (but not completely) in another great weekend's performance.
Congratulations Rockers "Mo" on your bid to the Premier Girls Fastpitch National Championship.

Illinois Chill (Morris) finishes 2d at PGF National Qualifier!
In an exciting tournament, the Chill obtained a berth to the PGF National Championship (Platinum) in Huntington Beach California. The Championship game culminated in a shoot-out with the Beverly Bandits Team Premier-18 U Gold that ended 13-11, and was marked by a sixth inning Chill-surge to take a 2-run lead, followed by a go-ahead response from the Bandits in the top of the 7th, who then fended off a bottom-of-the-7th charge from the never-say-die-Chill who scored and then put the tying run on 2nd and the winning run on 1st before the Bandits came up with excellent defensive plays to end the threat.
Congratulations on another excellent tournament, girls!

Pitcher Lily Del Toro 2014 (Lake Central, IN) verbals to IUPUI
Second year coach, Amanda Rivera, selects Del Toro for the Jaguars staff. Rivera, who joined IUPUI after a successful career as an all-American player and as an assistant coach at Northwestern, North Carolina and Indiana is looking to put the Jaguars at the top of the conference standings.
Chill Coach, Pat Morris, commented "the Jaguars are getting a great addition in Lily. She is an intense competitor with a strong work ethic who is unbelievably reliable in the circle. Her precision control and her superior movement has allowed her to collect 8 wins for us already in the new season. Her statistics are impressive, about 1 WHIP (walks plus hits per inning) but more impressive is that every time she starts a game, she motivates the team. We could not be happier for her and her family".
