DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University softball team hosts Loyola Saturday and Sunday at Buel Field in its final homestand of the 2021 season. All three games are scheduled to be streamed on ESPN3.
Drake (14-27, 8-12 MVC) is looking to improve its place in the Missouri Valley Conference standings for the MVC Tournament to be held on May 12-15 in Evansville, Ind. The MVC announced on April 8 that all 10 league teams will qualify for the three-day tournament in 2021. The Bulldogs are currently tied for seventh with the host Purple Aces and are vying to move into the top six of the league standings, which would earn a bye to the second day of the tournament.
