Bradley Softball continues its early-season journey this weekend at The Snowman: Alex Wilcox Memorial Tournament, hosted by Mississippi State. This tournament holds significant meaning across the softball community, honoring the late Alex Wilcox, who courageously battled ovarian cancer while continuing to pursue her dream of playing collegiate softball. Mississippi State has continued Wilcox's legacy through the "No One Fights Alone" campaign, wearing teal uniforms throughout the season to raise awareness.

As the Braves step onto the field, they will compete in a challenging slate of games while looking to build on their early-season performances. Bradley enters the weekend following a competitive showing in San Marcos, Texas, where they took #13 Arkansas down to the wire, and dominated Texas State and San Diego. The Braves' offense has been led by several key contributors, while their pitching staff has worked through early-season matchups to gain valuable experience.

Top Performers to Watch

• Lauren DeRolf (LF) – A consistent presence at the top of the lineup, DeRolf has made an impact both at the plate and defensively. In the game against Texas State, she went 2-for-4 with an RBI, showcasing her ability to generate offense​.
• Morgan Schlosser (RF/CF) – A versatile outfielder, Schlosser has displayed patience and power at the plate. She went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Bradley's win over Texas State​.
• Bailey Sample (1B) – The junior first baseman has been an anchor in the lineup. She recorded a key RBI and run scored versus Texas State, a double and a home run versus San Diego and continues to be a reliable bat​.
• Sydney Kennedy (P/DH) – Kennedy has picked up right where she left off last season in the circle. She delivered a complete game shutout versus San Diego, allowing just four hits, with five strikeouts and no walks.
• Hannah Organ (P) – The right-hander has been a steady presence in the circle, working through high-pressure situations. She pitched six strong innings against Arkansas, keeping the Razorbacks off the base paths and leaving them confused.
