The Saint Louis Billikens softball team is set for a busy week, with a non-conference game against SIUE on April 1, followed by a crucial Atlantic 10 series against Fordham on April 3 and 4. The Billikens, currently tied for third place in the A-10, aim to continue their solid performance after a successful outing against Rhode Island. Last season, they faced Fordham in the A-10 Championship, winning the title and earning an NCAA Tournament berth. Both SIUE and Fordham present significant challenges as the Billikens seek to improve their standings.

By the Numbers
  • Saint Louis has recorded 7 shutouts this season, ranking 22nd nationally.
  • Abby Mallo leads the team with 19 RBIs and 5 home runs, while her 32 walks rank second in the A-10.
State of Play
  • Saint Louis has a season record of 14-19 and is 6-6 in A-10 play.
  • SIUE is struggling with a 14-20 record, having lost 7 of their last 8 games.
  • Fordham recently improved their conference record to 4-2 over their past six games.
What's Next

Following the Fordham series, the Billikens are scheduled to host Southeast Missouri State on April 8, looking to build momentum from their upcoming games. Potential implications include solidifying their standings in the A-10 and improving their overall record ahead of the conference tournament.
