Gamecocks Host UNA In Key ASUN West Softball Series - Jacksonville State University Athletics

JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State will welcome an old rival to University Field this weekend for a key three-game series in ASUN Conference West Division play.

The Gamecocks (25-17, 9-6 ASUN) will host North Alabama (30-12, 9-6 ASUN) to town for a series that will start with a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday and wrap up with a single game at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

The series will have large implications in the ASUN's West Division race, where JSU and UNA are tied for second and are just one game behind Central Arkansas in first place. All three games of the series will be broadcast on ESPN+. Tickets for the series are available online at www.JSUGamecockSports.com/Tickets, while JSU students and all fans ages 18 and under get in free.
