Tulsa, Okla. - The University of Tulsa softball team will take the field at home on Tuesday for only the second time this season. The doubleheader with Southwest Missouri State continues a month that includes 11 home games for TU.

The Bears enter the contest after losing 11 of their last 12 games. However, SMS owns a 15-6 advantage in the overall series between the two schools. The two teams have already faced each other this season as a part of the shortened OSU Cowgirl Classic on Feb. 25. Tulsa won the game 4-2, thanks to a coomplete game performance from junior Jenny Magill. Senior Kari Curtis also went 2-for-3 with three runs scored on the day.

Tulsa is 10-23 on the season, fresh off a split at Wichita State last week.
