ST. PAUL, Minn. - Poor weather conditions in the region have forced officials to relocate this Wednesday's doubleheader between Concordia-St. Paul and Sioux Falls to the West St. Paul Dome, with the games shifted to Thursday at 9:30 a.m.
The Golden Bears are 20-5-1 overall and off to a 3-3 start in league play while the Cougars enter Thursday with a 13-13 overall record and 1-4 mark in conference play. CSP has made plans to provide a
free live webcast of the doubleheader, along with
live statistics, pending the venue's capability to support a video stream.

SERIES HISTORY: USF 11, CSP 5
The Cougars hold the edge in the all-time series as the teams are scheduled to meet for the 17th and 18th times this week, but CSP has captured wins in three of the last five and two of the last three in recent history dating back to game two of 2018's doubleheader. The Golden Bears are 2-4 in neutral site contests against the Cougars, last squaring off at a neutral site in 2018 at the West St. Paul Dome with USF winning game one 5-3 before CSP took game two 8-1.
