GOLDEN SUNS SOFTBALL HAVE FINAL TWO GAMES AT
GSC/MIDWEST CROSSOVER CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN

        TUNICA, Mississippi – Arkansas Tech’s Softball team had its final two games here of the Gulf South Conference/Midwest Crossover Tournament cancelled after an overnight rainstorm made the fields unplayable at the GW Henderson Complex.

Tech, who was scheduled to play Indianapolis and Lewis [IL] on Sunday, completed play at the event with a 3-1 record as the Golden Suns collected a 6-3 win over Southern Indiana and a 6-5 win over Missouri-St. Louis on Friday and then earned a 3-2 win over Drury [MO] on Saturday. Tech’s lone loss at the tournament came to No. 1 ranked SIU Edwardsville, 11-1, in Saturday’s finale.

“The fields were too wet to play, so tournament officials decided it would be best to cancel the entire schedule on Sunday,” Golden Suns Head Softball Coach Gidget Pambianchi said. “I wish we could’ve played our two games on Sunday and got some of the hangover out of our system after Saturday’s loss.”

Tech (6-2 on the season) will return to the diamond on Wednesday, Feb. 20, when they welcome Missouri Southern for a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. at Chartwells Women’s Sports Complex on the Tech campus. Following Wednesday’s doubleheader, Tech will compete this coming weekend at the 5th-Annual Early Bird Tournament hosted by Evangel University in Springfield, Mo. The Golden Suns will open the tournament on Friday, Feb. 22 against Grand View College at 10 a.m. and will also face Evangel at 11:45 a.m. and Stephens College at 3:30 p.m.
