TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Indiana State Softball team will be back in action this weekend as they travel to Columbus, Ohio, for the Ohio State Tournament. The Sycamores are set for a high-profile three-day stretch at Buckeye Field, featuring matchups against host Ohio State and Louisville. 

Indiana State (15-12) looks to get back into the win column after a challenging midweek trip to Evansville. The Sycamores have proven they can compete with high-level programs this season, already tallying 15 wins and showing significant power at the plate and depth in the circle. 

The Sycamores are looking to bounce back following a midweek doubleheader sweep at the hands of Evansville. Despite the losses, Indiana State saw consistent production from Morgan Goodrich, who reached base four times over the two games, and Mallory Chavez, who added to her team-leading RBI total. 

Prior to the trip to Evansville, the Sycamores enjoyed success at home against UIC. Behind a stellar performance from Lauren Sackett in the circle, who earned her ninth win of the season, Indiana State secured a dominant 9-1 victory in the series, fueled by an offense that out-hit the Flames 9-2 in the finale.
