EVANSVILLE, Ind.—

The University of Southern Indiana softball team announced that its GLVC doubleheader against defending NCAA II Midwest Region champion University of Indianapolis has been moved to Friday at 1 p.m. at the USI Softball Field.

The doubleheader was originally scheduled for Sunday but was changed due to the forecast of rain. USI also hosts defending GLVC Tournament champion Northern Kentucky University in a doubleheader Saturday at noon. Live stats and audio can be access at www.gousieagles.com.

In addition, USI also announced that its doubleheader with NCAA Division I foe IUPU-Indianapolis has been rescheduled for April 27 at 2 p.m. (CDT) in Indianapolis.

USI (7-11, 6-0 GLVC) is trying to remain perfect in league play when it takes on Indianapolis Friday. The Screaming Eagles swept the Greyhounds in a conference twinbill to end the regular season a year ago.

The Eagles, who are at the top of the GLVC standings, are coming off a doubleheader sweep over Bellarmine University last Friday. Junior second baseman Amanda Brendel had a three-run triple in the first game, while junior first baseman Brittany DeWeese had a grand slam in the second game.

DeWeese leads the Eagles with a .400 batting average, six doubles, five home runs, and 23 RBIs. Brendel is second on the team with three home runs and 13 RBIs.

Indianapolis (17-8, 9-1 GLVC) saw a 13-game winning streak come to a close before salvaging the second game of a doubleheader with Missouri University of Science & Technology last Saturday. Senior pitcher/first baseman Megan Russell is hitting .300 and leads the Greyhounds with five home runs and a GLVC-best 30 RBIs.

Northern Kentucky (13-8, 7-2 GLVC) has won five straight games heading into its doubleheader with Ohio Dominican University on Thursday. The Norse have five players hitting better than .300, with senior infielder Rose Broderick leading the team with a .394 batting average and 20 RBIs.
