PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley Softball will visit a SEC campus for a second consecutive weekend, with the Brave heading to Columbia, Mo., for this weekend's Mizzou Classic after posting a 3-2 record at last week's Plainsman Invite in Auburn, Ala.
Owning a 6-3 in its last nine contests, Bradley (7-7 overall) will play a pair of games against 15th-ranked and tournament-host Missouri (12-4 overall), which reached the NCAA Tournament Super Regionals last year.
The Braves open the tournament Friday with a 1 p.m. matchup against NCAA Division I newcomer St. Thomas (2-8 overall), which reached the NCAA Division III College World Series last spring.
