Aces play Friday through Sunday
Â
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Looking to get back on the winning track, the University of Evansville softball team travels to Charleston, S.C. this weekend for the Low Country Classic. Between Friday and Sunday, the Purple Aces will play five games, taking on Buffalo, Wofford and the College of Charleston.
Evansville took part in the Best on the Bayou Tournament last week and put together multiple strong performances. Jess Willsey recorded four hits in the tournament with three of those being doubles. She finished the weekend with a .538 slugging percentage while picking up an RBI.
While she is batting just .190 on the season, Hannah Hood has appeared to turn the corner with a nice weekend in Louisiana. Hood recorded three hits in eight at-bats while picking up a double and scoring a run. Before this weekend, she opened the season 1-of-14 from the plate.
Buffalo will be the first opponent of the weekend. The Bulls enter the weekend with a 4-6 record highlighted by a 3-2 start to the season at the Cardinal Classic in San Antonio. Wofford holds an even 5-5 record. After beginning the season with a 4-1 mark, the Terriers have dropped four of their last five.
Host College of Charleston has gone 4-10 through the opening 14 contests and have dropped seven out of the last eight games. They earned a 4-0 win over South Carolina State in last weekend’s Cougar Classic.
