Know Your Foe
IUPUI is 7-24, 5-4 in the Horizon League. The Jaguars' two non-league wins came over Tennessee State and Miami (Ohio) on February 18-19.

IUPUI has a two-headed monster leading the way offensively in Kendal Calvert and Rachael Gregory, who both hit over .300. Madison Bryant is leading the team from the circle. She has been the pitcher of record in all 17 games she's played, with a 4-13 record and a 2.98 ERA.
