Edmond, Okla. - The SBU Softball team was scheduled to open their season earlier this week, but due to weather those games have been moved to later in the season. The team will now open with the UCO/OCU Tournament in Edmond, Oklahoma. On Friday, the Bearcats will play #15 ranked Cameron at 10 AM and Southeastern Oklahoma State at 12 PM. Saturday features matchups with Colorado Christian at 10 AM and #7 ranked Central Oklahoma at 12 PM. SBU's portion of the tournament will end on Sunday with a single game against Oklahoma Christian at 12 PM. 

SCOUTING THE BEARCATS
The Southwest Baptist University Bearcats are coming off an 8-47 (4-22 MIAA) finish last season. SBU has made the transition from the MIAA to the GLVC, upping the conference numbers from 14 teams to 16 teams. Last year, the Bearcats played a number of GLVC teams, including a sweep of Missouri S&T 4-0 and 3-2. The team also had a 5-1 win against Drury. Returning for the Bearcats on the mound will be seniors Maddie Massanelli, and Alexis Dock. Last season, Massanelli pitched 146.2 innings, striking out 91 in the process. Alexis Dock threw 38.0 innings last season, striking out 21 with an ERA of 4.97. The offensive leadership will begin with Megan Schellert, a 3-year starter thus far. Last year, Schellert led the team with a .292 average, starting all 55 games. She picked up 49 hits with 5 doubles, 1 triple, and 11 RBI. Sam Moran, Paige St. Pierre, and Morgan McMullin also look to help jump start the offense. The team is also surrounded by quite a few new faces.
