This past week, the Drake softball team hosted the Evansville Purple Aces in a three-game series. The Bulldogs played two games on Friday, April 5 and a third game on Saturday, April 6.
Going into this game, the Bulldogs secured a 2-1 series win over Illinois State University that was supposed to send them confidence into the two games against the Iowa Hawkeyes on April 2 at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., but due to the weather, these games were canceled without the possibility of being rescheduled. Although these two games would have been a nice warm up going into the weekend series, the team just utilized the extra time to practice.
