The doubleheader match between OLLU and Texas Wesleyan University scheduled for March 16 has been postponed to April 9 due to weather conditions. In addition to being an important conference match-up, the games against Wesleyan will be dedicated to breast cancer awareness.
 
OLLU Head Softball Coach Marie Stone wanted to sponsor this special program because awareness campaigns provide education about breast cancer and early detection. According to statistics released by the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancers.
   
Attendees at the games will have the opportunity to pick up brochures about the disease as well as participate in drawings for prizes. Food, including fajitas, turkey legs, hamburgers, refreshments and other snacks, will be sold by Bobby G's Old School Barbeque. The catering company is owned by Bobby Salinas, father of Saints' third baseman Bianca Salinas. All revenues will be donated to the breast cancer awareness fund.
 
Picked to finish fifth out of a slate of seven teams in the Red River Athletic Conference, the inaugural Our Lady of the Lake University Saints softball team leads the conference with a record of 12-2.
