The Nebraska softball team took a tough blow when superstar pitcher Jordy Bahl announced that she would miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL.

Jordy Bahl transferred to the Nebraska softball program this summer after winning a second national championship with Oklahoma. She was dominant in the run to the championship, and was a massive get for Nebraska. She cited wanting to return home as a prominent reason for her to transfer.

Nebraska has just opened the season on Thursday, Feb. 8 against Washington in the Puerto Vallarta Challenge in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The Huskers lost that game 8-0, then lost 6-1 the next day to Duke before getting the first win of the season the same day against Long Beach State. They wrapped up the event with a 3-2 win over Utah Valley, and are set to play New Mexico State in the Troy Cox Classic on Friday, now knowing they will not have Bahl.

There was an outpouring of support for Bahl after the announcement on X, so let's get to some of the reactions.
