PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley Softball will play outside for the first time in 2018 this weekend at the Citrus Classic in Orlando, Fla., after having last week's trip to the Marucci Desert Classic in Las Vegas, Nev., cancelled due to travel issues. The Braves will play a trio of ranked teams this weekend and four of five contests against squads which finished in the top 60 of last year's RPI.
The trip of Florida is the first for Bradley (3-2 overall) since 2016 and the Braves will play in the Orlando, Fla., area for the first time since the 2015 campaign.
