Due to threatening weather in the forecast for the Lynchburg area later this weekend, the Liberty Softball Classic schedule has shifted, and will now be played Thursday through Saturday.

The Liberty Softball Classic will now start on Thursday at 2:30 p.m., as Liberty takes on Rhode Island. Saint Francis (Pa.) will face Rhode Island at 4:30 p.m. before Liberty and SFU contest a 7 p.m. game.

The tournament, which also features North Carolina Central, will now have all pre-scheduled matchups, as opposed to the original, tournament-style format planned for the 2017 Liberty Softball Classic.
