Sackett Releases 2010 Schedule
Blackburn College Head Softball Coach Ryan Sackett has
released the 2010 Schedule. The season gets underway
with a spring break trip to Arkansas and Memphis. In
Conway, Arkansas, the Beavers will participate in the
Hendrix College Spring Fling Tournament where they will
battle conference foes Westminster and Mac Murray while
also playing the hosts from Hendrix as well as the
University of Dallas. After the tournament, the Beavers
will travel to the University of the Ozarks in
Clarksville, Arkansas and then be back in Conway to take
on Central Baptist College. Then it is on to Memphis,
where on back to back days, Blackburn will play LeMoyne-Owen
College and Rhodes College before playing Lindenwood
University in St. Charles, Missouri on the way home. “We
have a very tough non-conference schedule that gets into
full swing on Spring Break. We play one DII school,
several top NAIA schools, and several very good DIII
schools, said Sackett"
After spring break, the Beavers host two non-conference
opponents before beginning league play. On the weekend
of March 20 &21, Blackburn will host Wartburg College
and Robert Morris College of Springfield. "Hopefully all
of the challenging games early in the season will have
us prepared for our conference schedule, which is always
tough. I look forward to seeing how this team competes
and what we are made of,” added Sackett.
The St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
portion of the schedule kicks off with a season-opening
tournament in Springfield, where the Beavers will play
Mac Murray, Principia, Westminster, and Spalding. The
home portion of the conference season begins with Eureka
College on March 31. The SLIAC tournament is slated for
May 6 through May 8 with the top. |
