NATCHITOCHES – Registration is open for the Northwestern State softball team's Alumni Weekend activities, set for April 11-12 when the Demons host Lamar in a Southland Conference series.
 
All alumni are invited to attend the two-day series, which will allow for a tour of the latest additions to the facility and opportunity to experience the brand-new turf in person.
 
"NSU softball has a rich history of success and I'm excited for the chance to celebrate that history," first-year head coach Jenny Fuller said. "I'm excited for them to come and see the new field and the improvements that have been made at our facility. But more than that for them to get to know our players and hear the stories of when they played here.
 
"I look forward to continuing to build on the legacy that these women established during their time in Natchitoches and creating new memories with them, our current players and future Demons."
 
Special recognition is planned for 10-year anniversary of the 2015 Northwestern State team that won the Southland Conference regular season title with 22-3 record in conference play, the second most league wins in program history.
 
That team, led by six first-team all-conference players, set single-season team records for runs, home runs, batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage, all of which still stand today.
 
Softball alumni and families will be able to purchase $5 tickets for both days. Tickets, and registration for the weekend, can be purchased and completed by visiting www.nsudemons.com/SoftballAlumniWeekend. For more ticket information, contact the NSU Athletics Ticket Office at 318-357-4268.
 
Food and drinks will be provided to alumni and their families following Saturday's series finale which is set to begin at 12 p.m.
