CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The University of Northern Iowa softball team looks to bounce back after a winless tournament in Alabama as they travel to Nashville, Tennessee. The Panthers will play in the Bruin Classic hosted by Belmont University.
The Panthers will take on North Carolina A&T State (7:00 p.m. CT) on Friday. Saturday's matchups for UNI will be Butler University (10:00 a.m. CT) and Belmont University (12:15 p.m. CT). The Panthers will close out the tournament on Sunday in a doubleheader against North Carolina A&T State (9:00 a.m. CT) and Butler University (10:30 a.m. CT).
The Aggies of North Carolina A&T State own a 2-8 record in the 2018 season. The Aggies won three games in their conference tournament in 2017, before losing to Florida A&M. The Panthers and Aggies have never faced each other in program history.
The Butler Bulldogs enter the Bruin Classic with a 2-7 record and have lost three of their last four games. In 2017, UCF finished with a 23-29 (11-9 Big East), before dropping the opening round game of the Big East Conference Tournament to St. John's. UNI is undefeated (4-0) against Butler in the all-time series history.
Belmont University, the host of the Bruin Classic, enter with a 7-2 record in the 2018 season. The Bruins went 35-22 (10-12 Ohio Valley) in 2017, losing in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament. The Panthers have never faced the Bruins in program history.
