Wright State softball also earned a win in the classic, taking down the Ohio Northern Polar Bears 3-11.
Jordan Blaine, a junior at WSU who competed on the team, talks about celebrating a win and her birthday.
“It's always the best feeling in the world to win a game, especially with the best teammates I could ask for,” Blaine said. “Winning on my birthday was like a present from everyone [even the opposing team]. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better day; I got to celebrate with the people and the sport I love."
WSU football also competed in the classic with a game at 1 p.m. against Michigan State.
The Raiders were not able to get the win with a final of 7-28.
Quarterback coach for the Raiders, Kev Dixon, talks about what is to come this season for the team.
“The main thing I want to see moving forward with this team is us coming even closer, being able to play every phase of the ball with high intensity as we did in the second half of the game, and for us to be able to bring everything together to make a national championship run this year. I love this team and we will continue to fight the rest of the way as our team motto says [Hunt Together]."
