Shreveport - The Centenary softball team's doubleheader against the University of Texas at Dallas on Sunday at home will now start at 1 p.m. and not 2 p.m. as originally scheduled due to the forecast of rain in the later afternoon and early evening hours.
Game one between the Ladies and Comets will begin at 1 p.m. at the Centenary Softball Complex with game two following at approximately 3 p.m. The Ladies fell, 13-0, in their season opener on Saturday at home to East Texas Baptist.
Centenary was predicted to finish fourth in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference this season by the league's coaches based on balloting in the annual preseason coaches' poll.
The Ladies, led by fifth-year head coach Mark Suire, finished 18-23 last season and won four of their final six games as they posted a 12-10 conference record and finished third in the SCAC Championship held on their home field, marking the third time in the last four seasons that the Ladies earned a third-place finish at the conference tournament.
Centenary opens Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play on Saturday, March 7 at home against the University of Dallas. The teams will play a doubleheader at Noon and 2 p.m. and conclude the three-game series the following day with a Noon game. The Ladies will play 18 SCAC contests, eight at home and 10 on the road. Centenary faces Austin College on the road April 14-15 for its first conference road series. The Ladies finish the regular season with five straight home games from April 9-19 versus Schreiner, Louisiana College, and Hendrix.
The 2020 SCAC Championship, a double-elimination tournament, will be held April 24-26 in Kerrville, Texas and hosted by Schreiner University.
