In the first of ten games on the road, the Trevecca softball team (30-14, 14-2 G-MAC) grabbed a pair of wins at Ohio Valley University (8-29, 5-11 G-MAC). The Trojans took game one in six innings, 8-0, and won game two, 9-7. The games were delayed to later in the evening than previously scheduled because of weather and field conditions. A second double header will start at 11:30 AM on Saturday.

After the series at Ohio Valley, the Trojans will head to Kentucky Wesleyan (14-18, 9-3 G-MAC) to play the second double header of that series. The teams split the first double header at TNU on April 5. KWC took game one 3-2 then TNU came back to take game two 9-1 in five innings. These will be important conference games for Trevecca to maintain the top seat in the standings and hold Kentucky Wesleyan at second.
