CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Southeast Missouri's Otahkians dropped their season opening game Saturday before rain interrupted their second game in the Carbondale Tournament.

Southeast suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of Evansville in their season debut. A two-out bases-loaded single in the bottom by the Lady Aces' Tina DeWeese proved to be Southeast's undoing. Two runs scored on the hit.

Christine Englehart (0-1) suffered the loss. She gave up just three hits, but walked five batters. She also had three strikeouts.

Southeast managed four hits off Evansville's Heather Buchanan.

Southeast failed to score on two good opportunities, including a first-and-third chance in the fourth inning with nobody out.

"We outhit them, but they put two of their hits together," said Southeast coach Lana Flynn Richmond. "Offensively we just didn't produce."

Southeast saw its second game interrupted by rain with Carbondale leading 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning. The game will resume today at 9:30 a.m. The Otahkians are also scheduled to play Indiana at 12:30 p.m., Western Illinois at 2:30 and Eastern Illinois at 4:30.

"I thought they played well," said Richmond. "We just have to string some hits. We're just starting out of the gates, but I'm seeing some positive things."
