Columbia, Mo. -

The University of Missouri softball team (7-13) comes home to host the Missouri Round Robin with Iowa State, Indiana State, and Tennessee-Martin Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 9-11.

Iowa State comes to Columbia sporting a 3-7 record, including wins over New Mexico, Sacramento State, and Texas A&M.

Indiana State is currently 3-8, with wins over Tennessee State and Austin Peay State (2).

The University of Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks are 1-15.

Mizzou Thus Far...

Mizzou will look to improve on a 7-13 record after four tournament weekends. However, 10 of the team's 13 losses have come to opponents ranked in the Top 25.

After three road trips in four weeks, the Tigers will enjoy a 16 game home stand. The Tigers will take to the road again on March 27 to take on Oklahoma in Norman as the first game of their spring trip.

Mizzou Series History vs. Weekend Opponents

If history is any indication of what is to come this weekend, Mizzou has a good chance of winning its second home tournament. The Tigers are 30-23 against Iowa State and 11-3 against Indiana State. The Tigers have never faced Tennessee-Martin.
