TUSKEGEE, Ala. | After winning back-to-back games and opening the conference season winning their first series, the Tuskegee University softball team hits the road again on Tuesday heading north to face third-ranked Alabama-Huntsville.
 
The doubleheader is scheduled for first pitch at 2 pm.
 
Tuskegee (2-18, 2-1 SIAC) will face their third this season, falling to sixth-ranked North Alabama and eighth-ranked Georgia College. They have also faced two other teams, West Florida and Young Harris, who are receiving votes in the latest NFCA Top 25 poll.
 
The Lady Golden Tigers and Alabama-Huntsville (21-3, 11-1) are no strangers, as they have met seven times in the last years and all but one game has been played in Huntsville. The two teams have met four times in the regular season, and three times in regional play with Tuskegee upsetting top-seeded UAH in 2014. However, the Lady Chargers have ended the season for Tuskegee the last two years in regional play.
 
The two have played four of the same opponents this season – Flagler, Lee, North Alabama and West Georgia – with different results. The Lady Golden Tigers have a combined record of 0-8 against the four (including four games against Flagler), while Alabama-Huntsville is a combined 9-1 against the same four teams.
 
Tuskegee is coming off of a weekend in which they collected 21 hits in game two of the series en route to a 14-1 victory over Stillman, and followed that up with a 10-inning affair that ended in a 6-5 victory for Tuskegee.
 
The Lady Golden Tigers are led by freshman Sharde Thomas, who finished 5-for-11 against Stillman in the series. She is hitting .421 this season with three doubles and a triple. Fellow freshman Kaylin Finch is second on the team in hitting at .305 and is tied for the team lead in homeruns with two. She also leads the team in RBI with 13.
 
Freshman Roneshia Rudolph is hitting .300 this season, while junior transfer Jamaica Williams is hitting .273 and and is tied with Finch with two homeruns.
 
On the mound, senior Karisa Foye picked up her first win of the season with a complete-game effort on Saturday. The senior leads the team with a 4.15 earned run average in five appearances, which include three starts. She has allowed 27 hits in 27 innings pitched, and has eight strikeouts.
 
Toni Beth Garner, who worked 8.1 innings of relief to pick up the win on Sunday, is second on the team in ERA at 6.13. She has allowed 47 runs (40 earned) in 45.2 innings pitched thus far for Tuskegee.
