When a national power calls and offers to play a game at your softball stadium, there is one appropriate reply.
“I’ll take that any day,” Wichita State softball coach Kristi Bredbenner said. “Any time you can get an SEC opponent to travel, north of all places, and play … It doesn’t do anything but help us.”
So that is how the Shockers will play LSU, a Women’s College World Series semifinalist the past two seasons, at Wilkins Stadium on March 16. That game is part of a challenging non-conference schedule for WSU, which is coming off its NCAA regional appearance in 2016.
