PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley Softball will face one of its toughest weekends of the non-conference slate this week when the Braves play a pair of NCAA Tournament teams and a third squad which won 38 games last spring at the Troy Cox Classic in Las Cruces, N.M., Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Bradley will take part in the Troy Cox Classic for the second time in three years and the weekend trip to New Mexico will be the fourth in program history. The Braves are 4-6 all-time at the Troy Cox Classic, taking part in the event in both 2010 and 2015, and Bradley is 6-9 all-time in the state of New Mexico including a 2-3 record at the 2013 Lobo Classic.
