Penn State softball head coach Clarisa Crowell recently announced the 2023 schedule that includes 19 home games at Nittany Lion Softball Park and Beard Field.

“I am delighted to announce our 2023 Spring schedule and our team will look to build upon the successes of the 2022 season,” Crowell said. “I am very excited about this year’s team because we are fortunate to return all but one starter from last year. We are coming off a great fall season, and our team is continuing to work hard every day in practice and in the weight room.

“We are excited for the opportunity to compete against several quality opponents, and I do believe our pre-conference schedule will well prepare us for Big Ten play. We are very excited for the 2023 season, and we can’t wait to be back on the field in February…We Are!”

The Nittany Lions start their season at Coastal Carolina in Conway, SC in a five-game series facing non-conference opponents from Feb. 10-12.
