Saturday Update: Weather Wipes Out First Two Days of Stanford Tourney

March 18, 2011

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Though the temperatures in Evanston reached close to 70 degrees under sunny skies in the last couple of days, a dire weather forecast for the weekend at the Stanford Louisville Slugger Classic has come to fruition and wiped out the first two days of play.

Northwestern's previously scheduled 5:45 p.m. CT game Friday against UNLV was canceled by strong winds and heavy rains.

SATURDAY UPDATE: Both Northwestern's games against UNLV and versus No. 13 Stanford slated for Saturday in Palo Alto, Calif., have been canceled as well. In addition, tweaking to the Sunday schedule has occurred. NU now will play Iowa State at Noon CT (originally 11 a.m. CT) and No. 13 Stanford at 4:45 p.m. CT. A game against Cal Poly on Sunday has been erased so the 'Cats and the Cardinal hopefully can face off.
