The annual Northwestern State softball auction, scheduled for Saturday night, has been postponed due to projected inclement winter weather.

The decision was made by head softball coach Jenny Fuller out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of all expected attendees, participants and supporters, many traveling from long distance for the event.  A new date for the auction will be announced soon.

As for other weekend athletic events involving Northwestern teams, including a Saturday afternoon basketball doubleheader on Mike McConathy Court at Prather Coliseum, NSU officials are monitoring National Weather Service forecasts before making any final decisions, which should happen at some point today.
