Utah’s 2023 slate includes 16 home games
SALT LAKE CITY – The dates have been set on the University of Utah softball team's 2023 schedule, which was announced by coach Amy Hogue and the Pac-12 Conference on Monday. Hogue has constructed a slate that will pit her squad against six teams that ended 2022 nationally ranked and 13 programs that reached last year's NCAA Tournament.
This schedule includes a total of 51 regular season games before the postseason begins with the Pac-12 Tournament in Tucson, Ariz. on May 10. Utah's Dumke Family Softball Stadium will host 16 of those contests, starting with Utah's March 10 matchup against Oregon State.
The first pitch of the Utes' season will be thrown on Feb. 10 in La Jolla, Calif., where they'll play five times in three days. They'll open the year by taking on Stonehill College, followed by a pair of tilts against Northern Colorado and UC San Diego at Triton Softball Field. The LSU Invitational on Feb. 17-19 will be Utah's second non-conference tournament of the year and their opponents in Baton Rouge will include an LSU squad coming off its 17th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The last time these programs collided was in 2017 and the Utes blanked the then-No. 7 Tigers, 3-0.
One of the most challenging weekends on the docket for Utah in 2023 will come on Feb. 24-26 at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Palm Springs, Calif. On the event's second day, the Utes will lock horns with the two-time defending National Champion Oklahoma Sooners, almost one year to the day of the last time the schools met, when Hogue saw her team hold the Sooners to one of their lowest run totals of the year in a narrow, 2-1 defeat. Utah's list of adversaries in Palm Springs also includes 2022 NCAA Regionals participants Loyola Marymount and Ohio State.
March's agenda begins with six games in Honolulu at the Hawaii Spring Fling, the Utes' first trip to the Aloha State since 2019. St. Bonaventure and Santa Clara will be the squad's opponents on March 3, followed by dates with Niagara and Pacific on March 4. One more matchup with Niagara and a clash with the University of Hawaii on March 6 will close out Utah's time in Honolulu.
The gates to the Dumke Family Softball Stadium will swing open for the first time when OSU comes to town for a three-game set on March 10-12, a series that will also serve as the Utes' first weekend of Pac-12 play. Following a home bout with North Dakota State on March 14 and trip to BYU a day later, Utah will travel to Arizona for three games with the Wildcats on March 17-19. Hogue's team will then be tasked with navigating through a week of non-conference action at home, hosting Boise State on March 22, Weber State for a doubleheader on March 25 and Utah Valley on March 28.
After spending three days in Berkeley squaring off with California, the final month of the 2023 campaign will begin with back-to-back series at home, first with Arizona State on April 6-8, then against Stanford on the 14-16. Those homestands will be followed by three games at Washington and one at Utah Valley before the Utes close out their home slate on April 28-30, when they'll entertain UCLA. The Oregon Ducks will be Utah's final regular season opponent in Eugene on May 5-7.
The Utes' postseason will begin with the first-ever Pac-12 Softball Championship, a four-day, single-elimination tournament that will be hosted by Arizona from May 10-13. The NCAA Tournament is scheduled to kick-off on May 19, followed by the super regional series from May 26-28 and the Women's College World Series, which will run from June 1-9.
