Softball Releases Fall Schedule

The Lady Knights have released their fall scrimmage season schedule, playing 8 dates against primarily four-year schools. This is a return to a normal schedule, since games last fall were limited and restricted due to Covid rules. The Lady Knights will open up at home on September 11th, hosting Lincoln Trail and Wabash Valley for the annual IECC Play Date. OCC opens up with LTC at 11am, followed by LTC and Wabash at 1pm and concluding with OCC and Wabash at 3pm. All games are at OCC and are free of charge. 

The rest of the fall games will be on the road at four year universities. September 19 will be at Indiana State in Terre Haute, with a time to be announced. ISU is the first of two straight Missouri Valley Conference opponents OCC will face. Friday September 24th will see the Lady Knights taking on the University of Evansville, in a DH beginning at 4pm.  The 25h of September will see OCC in action at McKendree University, who finished 2nd in the GLVC last year, one of the top NCAA DII conferences in the country. 

Sunday, October 3rd will see the Lady Knights traveling to St. Charles, MO to take on Lindenwood University. LU is coming off a winning season and also participates in the GLVC. October 10th will be another travel date to Kentucky Wesleyan in Owensboro, KY.  The 1pm start will be the first game with the Great Midwest Athletic Conference participant in six years. 

The final two dates will be against Ohio Valley Conference members. October 16 will be at Southeast Missouri State in Cape Girardeau, MO. SEMO won 30 games this past spring.
