CHICAGO - The DePaul softball team travels to Seton Hall for a three-game series Apr. 30-May 1 at Mike Sheppard, Sr. Field in South Orange, New Jersey. The series kicks off with a doubleheader at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday. Sunday's game at 11 a.m. will be broadcast on the BIG EAST Digital Network.
DePaul (21-24, 11-3 BIG EAST) looks to snap a three-game losing streak after falling 2-1 in its series with St. John's last weekend and dropping an 8-0 contest to No. 19/18 Notre Dame on Wednesday.
Dylan Christensen continues to lead DePaul with a .413 batting average and is second on the team with 50 hits. Morgan Maize leads the team with 51 hits and is tied for second with Nicole Pihl with eight home runs.
Seton Hall Scout (24-25, 7-7 BIG EAST): The Pirates return to their home field after dropping a 5-4 contest at Stony Brook on Thursday. Prior, Seton Hall swept Providence last weekend 3-0 at home.
As a result, Alexis Walkden was named BIG EAST Player of the Week for her performance in the series. The sophomore is second on the team with a .382 batting average. She leads the team with eight home runs and 39 RBI.
Last year, DePaul and Seton Hall met in the regular season and in the semifinals of the BIG EAST Tournament. The Blue Demons swept the Pirates 3-0 in the regular season series, but lost in the semifinals of the conference tournament 9-5.
