EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Another big weekend is on the docket for the University of Evansville softball team when the Purple Aces welcome preseason Missouri Valley Conference favorite Northern Iowa to Cooper Stadium. Saturday opens with a 12 p.m. doubleheader before Sunday's finale will get underway with a noon start time.
Last Time Out
- For the first time since 2010, the Aces defeated Drake in a home series, taking two out of three games against the Bulldogs to open league play
- After falling by a 10-1 final in Saturdays series opener, UE stormed back with a 5-3 win to begin Sundays doubleheader before recording a 12-3 win in six innings to seal the series win
- Sydney Weatherford started Sundays opener and after allowing two runs in the first inning, she allowed just one more over the remainder of the contest to help the Aces even the weekend series
- Jenna Lis hit a 2-run homer while Alexa Davis added a solo shot in the game.
