Against the Field
Among this weekend’s opponents, Arkansas has only faced Northern Colorado previously. The Razorbacks carry a 2-1 advantage in that series, last contested in 2009. CCSU and Dartmouth are the third and fourth first-time opponents of the non-conference season.

Last Time Out
The Razorbacks hit four home runs and Mary Haff recorded seven strikeouts in a run-rule win over Missouri State. The team got big flies from Loren Krzysko, Tori Cooper, Hannah McEwen and Haydi Bugarin.

Welcome Back, Coach Easley
Northern Colorado coach Shana Easley was Arkansas’ catcher from 2003-06. She ranks third in program history in base runners thrown out and fourth in putouts. Easley is in her sixth season with the bears.
