EVANSVILLE, Ind. – A schedule change has been announced that will see the University of Evansville softball team take on UT Martin on Thursday, March 21 in a single game set for a 3 p.m. first pitch at Cooper Stadium.  The change was made due to inclement weather in the forecast for Evansville on Wednesday.
