EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern did not receive an at-large berth into the 2010 NCAA Tournament during Sunday night's selection show, ending the Wildcats' season with a 25-23 record.

Northwestern's senior class of Lauren Delaney (Jefferson City, Mo./Helias), Kelly Dyer (Homer Glen, Ill./Lockport), Aly Euler (River Forest, Ill./Oak Park River Forest), Emily Haug (Jefferson City, Mo./Helias) and Nicole Pauly (Palatine, Ill./Palatine) conclude their careers with 148 wins together, inclusive of a third-place finish at the 2007 Women's College World Series and both the 2008 Big Ten regular-season and tourney titles.

The Wildcats finished fourth in the Big Ten in 2010, marking the seventh-straight year NU has been in the top quartet in the conference. NU played 16 of its 48 games on the year against ranked opponents, knocking off then-No. 10 Stanford on Feb. 26 and then-No. 12 California on Feb. 20.
