ST. PAUL, Minn. - Concordia-St. Paul softball, scheduled to play five games in St. Joseph, Missouri this weekend as part of the Fairfield Classic, will relocate to Maryville, Missouri on the campus of Northwest Missouri State to play two games on Saturday and two on Sunday. The shift was made due to expected heavy rain and cold temperatures in St. Joseph on Friday.
Saturday and Sunday's weather looks favorable, with a high of 58 on Saturday and 68 on Sunday and little-to-no chance of precipitation.
Concordia will play Missouri Southern State and Northwest Missouri State each day to round out non-conference play. The Golden Bears are 13-2-1 on the year and off to the best start in the program's NCAA Division II history, which began in 2000.
