Rolla, Mo. – After playing its 19 games of the season on the road the Missouri S&T Lady Miner softball squad will have to wait a little bit longer to play its first home games of the season. The Lady Miners were scheduled to play Lindenwood on Wednesday afternoon but due to the cold temperatures the games have been moved to next Monday, March 20 at 2 and 4 p.m.

With the postponement, S&T will extend its season opening road trip to 23 games heading to Indiana this weekend to open Great Lakes Valley Conference play against Saint Joseph's College and the University of Indianapolis. The Lady Miners and Pumas will square off in a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 12 p.m. in Rensselaer and then will head down Interstate 65 to Indianapolis to take on the Greyhounds on Sunday beginning at 11 a.m. (CDT).

S&T (7-12) looks to snap a four-game skid when it takes on Saint Joseph's on Saturday afternoon. The Lady Miners also look to begin conference play with a pair of wins for the first time since 2014.

S&T is being led offensively by Abby Klein (Kansas City, MO/Staley) who is hitting .369 with four doubles and seven runs batted in this season.
