The women’s softball team returns to Mid-American Conference action this weekend when they host Eastern Michigan, beginning today at 3:30 p.m.
The Falcons will play a doubleheader tomorrow, and then conclude the regular season with a game on Sunday. That game will begin at 1 p.m.
The Falcons are coming off a doubleheader split against Cleveland State on Tuesday, and coach Leigh Ross-Shaw said she hopes the team remains at ease for the games this weekend. “These guys play so much better when they are relaxed,” Ross-Shaw said. “It will be interesting to see.”
BG is currently tied with Miami for the sixth and final spot for the MAC tournament. They hold a tiebreaker over the Redhawks because of the team’s two wins over Miami on April 9.
Miami plays a three-game series against Kent this weekend. If BG wins out, they will qualify for the MAC tournament. Any other result will mean that BG will need help to reach the postseason for the fifth time in six years.
