But Evansville, which is primarily made up of collegiate players, has several players who are participating on teams in the NCAA playoffs. So due to a shortage of personnel, this weekend's games have been postponed.

The Capahas are slated to play at Goreville, Ill., Sunday, but that contest is also up in the air.

The home opener for the Capahas will be May 29 when Valmeyer, Ill., comes to Cape Girardeau.
