MIDWEEK FOLLOWING INFORMATION
Wednesday, March 13 – at Lipscomb – 4 p.m. CT | Livestats | Stream
The Lady Bisons will host WKU from Draper Diamond, marking Lipscomb's eighth-straight home game while the Hilltoppers will be playing their eighth-consecutive game on the road. WKU is in the midst of a 12-game road stretch, with its next home game slated for Saturday, March 23.
WKU is off to one of the best starts in program history with a 15-4 record through five weeks of non-conference play. The Hilltoppers will look to bounce back after suffering a pair of one-run losses to close weekend play at the Bobbie Bailey Memorial Tournament from Kennesaw, Ga., last weekend.
Lipscomb will be looking to get back on track as well after taking a 10-inning 2-1 loss to Valparaiso in its most recent outing. Aside from the loss to Valpo, the Lady Bisons have posted a 6-0 record during their current home stand.
Common opponents on the season between the sides include Samford and South Alabama – a pair of squads that the Hilltoppers picked up victories over. Lipscomb secured a 7-0 win over Samford on Opening Day before downing the Bulldogs 8-0 two weeks later. The Lady Bisons took an 8-5 loss to USA during the second weekend of the season from Mobile.
In the all-time series against Lipscomb, WKU owns a slim 15-14 advantage. However, the midweek hosts have won the last six meetings dating back to the 2015 campaign. WKU is 8-6 in the series when playing at Lipscomb, with its most recent win from Nashville occurring in the first half of the squad's 2015 doubleheader.
