TAMPA, Fla. – The opening day of the 2025 softball season got off to a good start for Illinois State at the USF-Rawlings Tournament in Tampa, Florida, as the Redbirds picked up a 2-1 extra inning win in the season opener against Delaware before dropping a hard-fought 5-3 contest to host USF in the nightcap on Thursday at the USF Softball Stadium.

Junior Hannah Meshnick was stellar in the circle for the Birds, throwing a complete game and giving up just one run while striking out two in 8 innings.
