EVANSVILLE, Ind.—The University of Southern Indiana softball team can rest a little easier now as it has secured a trip to the GLVC Tournament.
USI (19-24, 15-12 GLVC) officially secured its berth with the cancellation of the Drury University-Maryville University doubleheader on Friday, making it mathematically impossible for the Screaming Eagles to be knocked out of the eight-team field.
What seed the Eagles will be and who they will face will be determined with the conclusion of the GLVC games that are slated to be played Sunday. The Eagles are currently the seventh seed, but could slip to eighth if Drury sweeps the University of Wisconsin-Parkside or if Wisconsin-Parkside sweeps Drury.
The GLVC Tournament is May 7-9 at the EastSide Centre in East Peoria, Illinois. For ticket information, visit the GLVC website at www.glvcsports.com.
