INDIANAPOLIS – IUPUI softball takes a break from Horizon League play to play its final non-conference game of the season when the Jags travel to Eastern Illinois on Tuesday (April 23). The game against the Panthers begins at 5 p.m. ET.

IUPUI has lost four-straight non-conference games coming in to Tuesday's contest.

The Jags are on a two-game winning streak after taking the final two games of a three-game set against Cleveland State. In those two games, IUPUI was led at the plate by catcher Sabrina Trevino. Trevino went 4-for-5 with two walks, while hitting three home runs and driving in seven. Trevino became the first Jaguar to hit two home runs in a game since Mandy Dallas did so on April 21 of last season.

Jaida Speth leads all hitters with a .313 average and Delaney Thompson, Mandy Dallas and McKenzie Loge are all hitting above .300. Dallas leads the team with eight home runs and 31 RBI while Thompson has a team-high 11 doubles.

Lexi Lucas picked up her 10^th win of the season with a one-run complete game effort against Cleveland State. Lucas holds a 5.63 ERA and has only walked 23 batters in 1.74.1 innings pitched. The lone run in the Cleveland State game was a solo home run and that has been a thorn in Lucas's side as the freshman has surrendered 40 home runs this season.
