JOPLIN, Mo. – Missouri Southern Athletics prepares for a busy week highlighted by men's golf, a full slate of home baseball games, softball action in Joplin, and outdoor track & field competition.
Men's golf opens the week at the Tommy Riggs Collegiate Invitational in Pittsburg, Kansas, competing Monday and Tuesday at Crestwood Country Club.
MSSU hosts Lion Pride Luncheon on Thursday at Noon, CT in room 211 of the Ron Richard Athletic Center. The Luncheon will feature men's and women's golf along with men's and women's track & field. Outback will be served. Registration is available
online.
Baseball follows with a five-game homestand at Warren Turner Field, beginning with a Tuesday matchup against Newman before hosting Central Oklahoma in a three-game series Thursday through Saturday.
Tuesday's matchup against Newman was originally scheduled to be played at Newman but was shifted to Joplin due to the playing surface at Newman. The game time was moved to 1 p.m. from 3 p.m. due to the threat of inclement weather.
Softball returns home for MIAA play on Saturday, welcoming Northeastern State for a doubleheader at the Pat Lipira Softball Complex.
Men's and women's outdoor track & field closes out the week on Saturday, competing at the 18th Annual David Suenram Gorilla Classic in Pittsburg, Kansas.
