CEDAR CITY, Utah - Southern Utah and Dixie State will meet on the softball diamond on Tuesday afternoon in a doubleheader that was originally scheduled for February 26.  The games are set to begin at 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. at Karl Brooks Field on the campus of Dixie State College.

The Thunderbirds will be looking to snap a two-game losing skid against the Red Storm and also change the momentum in the recent series between the two schools as DSC has taken five of the last eight.

The SUU offense will enter the game averaging .253 from the plate with 95 runs, 27 doubles and 17 home runs.  Cora Cordova leads a group of four Thunderbirds batting over .300 with her own .345 clip from the plate.  Aly Daniels and Darleen Fernandez have provided the pop in the line-up with four home runs with Fernandez also leading the team with 21 RBI.

Heather Black has been the anchor for the T-Bird pitching staff, leading the team in victories (eight), ERA (4.04), innings pitched (85.0) and strikeouts with 51.  Pitching as a whole has struggled this year with the staff averaging a 6.26 ERA while allowing opposing teams to hit .333 from the plate.
