BYU releases fall schedule

PROVO, Utah – BYU softball announced its fall schedule Thursday, which features six home games and two away games.

“We're excited for the fall competition because it allows us to bring the freshmen into our culture,” BYU head coach Gordon Eakin said. “It also allows us to prepare our team for the regular season beginning in February.”

The Cougars are riding off of another successful season. They finished 2017 with a 46-13 record, a ninth-straight conference title and the 13th-consecutive NCAA tournament berth. The team returns West Coast Conference Player of the Year Caitlyn Alldredge and Freshman of the Year Rylee Jensen, along with multiple All-WCC players. Additionally, there are six newcomers on the team this year.

Fall exhibition begins with Snow College visiting Provo on Sept. 28, at 6 p.m. MDT, and concludes with two games on the road against Snow and Dixie State in St. George on Oct. 21, starting at 11 a.m. MDT. BYU will host Utah Valley in the UCCU Crosstown Clash on Oct. 13, at 6 p.m. MDT. There are eight total games, including four games against three Division I schools.
