GANNON SOFTBALL CONCLUDES
REGULAR SEASON WITH HOME GAMES

LADY KNIGHTS MAKE FINAL PUSH FOR GLIAC TOURNAMENT
 
ERIE, Pa. - The Gannon softball team concludes the regular season this weekend with a pair of Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) doubleheaders at Gannon University Field.

The Lady Knights open the weekend Friday, April 25 against Saginaw Valley State. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. The regular season concludes Saturday, April 26 with Senior Day against Northwood. Game time is slated for 1 p.m.

Live gameday statistics will be available for every game. The first game of both doubleheaders will be available at http://www.gannon.edu/sports/women/softball/lstats/xlive.htm. The second game will be available at http://www.gannon.edu/sports/women/softball/lstats2/xlive.htm.

There are numerous games throughout the league this weekend that will determine seedings for the GLIAC Tournament, scheduled for May 2-4 at Emerson Park in Midland, Mich. Wayne State, Ferris State, Saginaw Valley State, and Ashland have already clinched spots in the eight-team tournament.

Gannon (26-18) can still finish as high as fifth place or miss the cut with four games left. Mercyhurst and Gannon enter the weekend tied for seventh place with identical 6-10 GLIAC marks. Findlay and Hillsdale both sit one game back in the win column.

Saginaw Valley State brings a 27-13 overall record and 11-5 conference mark into Friday’s contests. The Cardinals have been listed in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II Top 25 several times this season and sit in third place among GLIAC teams.

Northwood is 19-22 overall and 6-8 in the GLIAC after splitting a non-conference doubleheader against Tiffin Wednesday afternoon at home
