WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – The West Liberty University softball team returns home this weekend for a pair of Mountain East Conference (MEC) doubleheaders at the Hilltopper Softball Complex.

The Hilltoppers (20-19, 12-6 MEC), currently second in the MEC North Division, will celebrate Senior Day on Saturday as they host Davis & Elkins at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. On Sunday, WLU welcomes West Virginia Wesleyan for another twin bill scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. and 2 p.m.

West Liberty will honor four seniors — Emily Allen, Madison Angus, Sydney Johnson, and Kayla Mancuso — prior to Saturday's games for their contributions to the program both on and off the field.
