Chicago, Ill. - In anticipation of inclement weather this weekend, the UIC softball team's three-game series versus Valparaiso will start on Friday with a doubleheader beginning at 4 p.m. at Flames Field.

The time for the series finale will be determined on Saturday morning after the weather and field conditions are evaluated.

UIC's contest versus No. 22 DePaul that was set to be played today at 4 p.m. has been rescheduled for Thursday, April 24.

The Flames are coming off a 5-0 conference week with a doubleheader sweep over Green Bay and a three-game sweep at Youngstown State.
