TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State continues its early-season tournament stretch this weekend as the Sycamores travel to the Lindenwood Tournament, where they will face Green Bay, Lindenwood, and Western Illinois.
Indiana State enters the weekend looking to build momentum after a competitive slate at the Memphis tournament. The Sycamores picked up strong performances against Morehead State and Northern Illinois, showing offensive balance and timely hitting while continuing to rely on steady pitching in the circle. ISU was tested against Kentucky in the tournament finale, gaining valuable experience against an SEC opponent that will help prepare the group for the remainder of non-conference play.
Throughout the Memphis weekend, Indiana State showcased depth in the lineup. Morgan Goodrich continued to set the tone at the top of the order, applying pressure with her speed and ability to reach base, while multiple Sycamores contributed timely hits to drive in runs. The offense generated scoring opportunities in key innings and demonstrated the ability to capitalize on opponent miscues.
In the circle, freshman Caylee Gaytan remained a steady presence, logging important innings and continuing her strong start to the 2026 season. Her command and ability to generate strikeouts have helped anchor the pitching staff, while the Sycamores have also received valuable relief appearances as they manage a busy tournament schedule.
This weekend's tournament in St. Charles provides another opportunity for Indiana State to continue sharpening its approach before conference play approaches. Green Bay brings a disciplined lineup, Lindenwood will look to defend its home field, and Western Illinois presents a familiar regional matchup that always carries added intensity.
Indiana State will aim to carry the lessons learned in Memphis into a productive weekend at Lindenwood as the Sycamores continue to fine-tune both sides of the ball during the early portion of the season.
