NORMAL, Ill. – The Illinois State softball team (21-5, 7-1) will return to Missouri Valley Conference action this weekend, as preseason favorite Southern Illinois (28-7, 10-4 MVC) comes to town. This will be the first meeting between the two programs since the 2018 season, due to a weather cancellation during the 2019 season and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
