BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Shonda Stanton, and the Indiana softball program, has announced its 2024 season schedule.

The Hoosiers will be tested early and often throughout the 2024 campaign, featuring eight teams who reached the 2023 NCAA Tournament, including three Super Regional squads.

Indiana will open the season for the second year in a row at the prestigious NFCA Leadoff Classic in Clearwater, Fla. They’ll play against Oregon, Clemson, Kansas, Army and North Carolina Central from Feb. 8-11.

Team 51 will stay in warm climates in the following two weekends as it will compete in the Troy Invitational from Feb. 16-18 in Troy, Ala., and the Hillenbrand Invitational from Feb. 23-25 in Tucson, Ariz.

The Troy Invitational will pit Indiana against Florida A&M, Troy and Gardner-Webb throughout the weekend. The Hillenbrand Invitational includes games against Marshall, Drake, Central Michigan and tournament host Arizona.

After being on the road throughout February, the Hoosiers will play ten games in a row in Bloomington. The Hoosiers will host two tournaments at Andy Mohr Field in the Hoosier Classic (March 1-3) and the Indiana Invite (March 8-10).

Indiana will face Bowling Green and Valparaiso in the Hoosier Classic, while the Indiana Invite field will have Oakland, Dayton, IUPUI and Howard.

A home midweek game against Western Kentucky on March 5 will be sandwiched in between both tournaments.

Prior to the start of the conference slate, the team will make a trip back to the Sunshine State. The Hoosiers will play at FAU on March 13 and at Florida on March 15-17 with games against Mercer and Florida in Gainesville.
