East Peoria's EastSide Centre Set to Host
2016 GLVC Softball Championship
The 2016 Great Lakes Valley Conference Softball Championship will be held on April 29-May 1, 2016 at the EastSide Centre in East Peoria, Illinois. It will mark the 13th straight year the GLVC Softball Championship will be held at the EastSide Centre. The 2016 event will also mark the 33rd annual GLVC Softball Championship.
The EastSide Centre is one of the nation's top softball facilities and annually hosts numerous events throughout the year. Mizuno Field, EastSide Centre's championship softball field, was named the Softball Field of the Year by the Sports Turf Managers Association in 2008.
Eight teams will vie for the 2016 GLVC crown and the opportunity to represent the conference at the NCAA Division II National Championship.
Missouri-St. Louis earned its third GLVC Softball Championship last season after earning an 4-0 victory over Indianapolis in eight innings. The title was its third in a row. With the three-peat, UMSL became the first active league member to accomplish such a feat, and only the second GLVC softball team to ever do so since former league member SIU Edwardsville won three in a row from 2006-08.
Lewis' 10 titles paces the conference, followed by UW-Parkside (3), Southern Indiana (3), Missouri-St. Louis (3) and Indianapolis (1). Former GLVC members SIU Edwardsville (5), Kentucky Wesleyan (4), Northern Kentucky (2), and Ashland (1) have also claimed GLVC Softball Championships.
