The DePaul softball team will have to wait until next season to exact revenge on Illinois.

The Illini won the their first matchup with the Blue Devils 4-1 in mid-February and were scheduled to play DePaul at home on Wednesday but the game was canceled due to inclement weather.

The DePaul game is the second midweek game of the year that Illinois has had to cancel due to poor weather, neither of which was rescheduled. The first was against Illinois State on March 27.

Illinois also had to cancel two weekend games against Missouri and move an additional three games to double headers because of field conditions earlier this season.

After being swept by Minnesota last weekend at home — a series that was initially scheduled to be played in Minneapolis but was moved due to weather — the Illini will look to end its losing streak this weekend when they return to action against Indiana in a three-game series scheduled to start at Eichelberger Field on Friday.
