UNI softball hosts Bradley in MVC series beginning Friday

The UNI softball team looks to extend its perfect start in Missouri Valley Conference play when the Panthers open a three game series against Bradley with a doubleheader Friday afternoon. The Panthers are 6-0 in the Valley and 18-8 overall after a Tuesday win at Illinois.

That's UNI coach Ryan Jacobs who says the Panthers still need to make progress defensively.

Bradley enters the series with a 4-3 record in conference play.

The series concludes with a single game Saturday.
