Southern Utah and Dixie State will meet in a softball doubleheader Tuesday at 3 and 5 p.m. at Karl Brooks Field in St. George.

The Thunderbirds will be looking to snap a two-game losing skid against the Red Storm and also change the momentum in the recent series between the two schools as Dixie State has won five of the last eight games. Cora Cordova leads a group of four SUU players hitting over .300.
