TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Fans can mark their calendars for the road to Oklahoma City, as Alabama softball has officially announced its 2022 schedule.
Highlights of the schedule include six games against three 2021 Women’s College World Series teams including Arizona, Florida State and Georgia, along with a combined 16 games against 2021 Super Regional teams Virginia Tech, Texas, LSU, Kentucky, Florida and Missouri.
“We are very excited about our nonconference opportunities this year beginning with the first Mike Candrea Invitational in Tucson,” UA head coach Patrick Murphy said. “We have home games with Virginia Tech, Texas and Florida State and we also get to see former Alabama pitcher Krystal Goodman on the coaching staff with Southern Miss when we play them in Hattiesburg.”
Fans can experience the best atmosphere in college softball with 26 regular season home games at Rhoads Stadium, including the Easton Bama Bash, Easton Crimson Classic, a WCWS rematch against Florida State and SEC home series against Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi State and Missouri.
“We have some lofty goals for ticket sales this spring,” Murphy said. “We want over 3,200 season tickets sold and an average of 3,500 fans per game. Both would set records for softball.”
Alabama will also play in the Sand Mountain Showdown against Jacksonville State at the brand-new Sand Mountain Park and Amphitheater in Albertville, Ala., on March 30. Ticketing details for that event will be announced in the coming months.
