NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee State softball team continues Ohio Valley Conference play this weekend as the Tigers travel to face the Morehead State Eagles in a three-game road series April 11–12 in Morehead, Kentucky.

Tennessee State enters the weekend looking to build momentum in conference play after showing continued offensive production and competitive innings in recent outings.
