River Forest, Ill. - The Dominican University Department of Athletics announced Monday that it has struck a deal with the Park District of Forest Park to use the Forest Park softball fields located on Harrison between Des Plaines and Harlem avenues.

"This is an amazing opportunity for us," said Cristina Lukas, the Stars' head softball coach. "The Park District of Forest Park does an excellent job taking care of the fields that we are certain to have a great experience every time out."
