Â
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Winning eight of their first ten games in 2016 while bringing home three weekly Missouri Valley Conference awards, the University of Evansville softball team is ready for another big weekend of action at the 2016 Chattanooga Frost Classic.
Evansville will be playing five games this weekend with two on Friday and Saturday and the finale on Sunday. Live stats for all games will be available on the tournament central page, which is linked above.
The weekend schedule is:
Friday
- Miami (Ohio) – 11 a.m. ET
at Chattanooga – 4 p.m. ET
Saturday
- Lipscomb – 11 a.m. ET
- Northern Kentucky – 1:30 p.m. ET
Sunday

With a pair of 4-1 weekends under their belts, the Aces look to continue their hot start to the season. The Aces picked up wins last weekend over Tennessee State, ETSU, Butler and Northern Kentucky in their trip to Nashville for the Tiger Classic.
Co-MVP of the tournament – Morgan Florey – garnered a pair of Missouri Valley Conference honors earlier this week. Florey was named the MVC Newcomer and Pitcher of the Week after going 13 2/3 innings, giving up just one run, which was unearned. She picked up three victories while striking out 23 batters against just three walks.
All-Tournament Team member Michal Luckett leads the offense with a .576 average. She has notched a hit in 19 of her 33 at-bats and is a perfect 5/5 in stolen base attempts. Danielle Freeman has also notched a good start to the season, checking in with a .379 batting average. She has driven in a team-high nine RBIs while posting five doubles.
