The fourth-ranked Kirkwood Eagles will host Dawson Community College in the NJCAA Division II district softball tournament this weekend at Kirkwood.

Kirkwood and Dawson will play two games Friday in the best-of-3 series,  beginning at 2 p.m. If a third game is needed, it will played Saturday at noon at Kirkwood.

The tournament originally was scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, but was changed to Friday and Saturday due to the possibility of rain on Saturday.

Kirkwood won the Region XI-A title Monday and has a 54-4 record. Dawson, located in Glendive, Mont., won the Region 13 title Monday and has a 31-8 record.

The district champion will advance to the national tournament in Clinton, Miss., on May 18-21.
