Aces to play at UNI Saturday and Sunday
 Sitting at 4-2 in Missouri Valley Conference play, the University of Evansville softball team looks for more as they travel to UNI for a 3-game set this weekend.
A 12 p.m. doubleheader begins the action on Saturday while Sunday’s final game is set for an 11 a.m. start time. Live stats will be available to each game.
In a mid-week doubleheader on Wednesday, Kent State earned a pair of victories over the Purple Aces. The Golden Flashes picked up a 9-1 win in game one before taking the second contest by an 8-2 margin. Tess Hupe had another big hit in the first tilt, notching an RBI single in the second inning. Bailee Bostic had both runs batted in for the second game, registering a 2-run double.
In three games versus Bradley last weekend, Morgan Florey batted .600 for the Purple Aces while getting on base 66.7% of the time and slugging .700. In the opener against Bradley, Florey went 1-3 from the plate with an RBI and a walk. She followed that up with a perfect 3-for-3 outing in the second game of the doubleheader with another RBI and walk. On Sunday, she got the job done once again, going 2-4 with her third RBI of the series. She paces the team with a .364 batting average.
On Sunday, Chandra Parr hit the 29th home run of her Purple Aces career. She is now just one from tying and two from breaking the program record, set by Krista Price. She played at UE from 2007 until 2010. She has batted .350 in conference play while posting a home run and four RBI.
UNI sits at 15-13 overall and are an even 3-3 through their first six conference outings. Sammey Bunch paces the UNI regulars with a .295 batting average while Anna Varriano checks in at .288. Varriano is their top power hitter, leading the squad with four home runs and 19 RBI.
