The University of Southern Mississippi Department of Athletics announced Thursday that the softball game against James Madison scheduled for Saturday has been moved to Friday evening. The doubleheader will now take place starting at 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

Southern Miss officials confirmed the doubleheader will proceed on Friday, with the second game moved to the later time.
