The Drake University softball team is set to host South Dakota in a double-header for its home opener on Tuesday March 28 and then host Southern Illinois on Saturday and Sunday for its first home conference games of the season.
Prior to the first pitch on Tuesday, the Bulldogs will hold a moment of silence for former player Gabbie Jonas who passed away in early March.
The Bulldogs had their series against Illinois State canceled due to the Valley's weather threshold policy. The series is set to be rescheduled for a later date.
The Coyotes head to Des Moines after facing North Dakota State.
