SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Drury softball returns to Springfield to open the final week of the regular season with a non-conference doubleheader against Rogers State.
 
In Drury's last regular-season road trip to Kansas City, Drury dropped all three of their games. Rogers State is in the top half of one of the hardest conferences in NCAA Division II, the MIAA. The Hillcats will play two separate non-conference doubleheaders this week as they enter the final series of the conference season.
 
Fans may follow the action through the GLVC Sports Network (subscription required), where games will be streamed live throughout the regular season. New for the 2025-26 academic year, viewing access to GLVC regular-season and postseason broadcasts will be available via a monthly ($30) or annual ($140) subscription. Single-event access can also be purchased for $15. Select games, including the Rogers State doubleheader, will have free audio coverage on DU All-Access.
