Inclement Weather Forces Softball To Make Schedule Changes

GREENVILLE, South Carolina -- Due to impending inclement weather, Furman head softball coach Bonnie Fynn has announced a revised schedule for the season opening Lady Paladin Invitational this weekend.

With rain expected to continue throughout the weekend, Villanova announced it would not make the trip to Greenville for the two-day tournament. Instead of the scheduled three-team, round robin format, the Lady Paladins will play a doubleheader beginning Saturday at 12:00 p.m. at Pepsi Stadium against the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs.

The Lady Paladins will wrap up their homestand with a 2:00 p. m. double-dip versus Georgia Tech on Tuesday.

Furman, 24-24 overall and 11-10 in the Southern Conference a year ago, returns all of its starters from a team that advanced to the SoCon Tournament Championship game for the third consecutive year in 2002.
