REDDIES REPORT
- Henderson State returns home after dropping three games in last weekend's series at Southern Nazarene.

Following the series with the Lady Rangers HSU will hit the road for 10-straight games and will not play again at home until April 5.

Taylor is third in the GAC in batting average this year (.470) and is leading the team with 31 hits, 18 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of .485. The pride of Arkadelphia High was 7-for-11 against SNU and earned her second-straight GAC Freshman of the Week honor on Tuesday.

The junior transfer from Division I Incarnate Word is batting .403, has 27 hits, and leads the GAC in stolen bases with 17 in 20 attempts this year.
