South Orange, N.J. – Entering her first season at the helm, Seton Hall softball head coach Angie Churchill announced the 2022 schedule on Tuesday, a total of 48 games against 20 different opponents.

The Pirates will take on 12 non-conference opponents, including three who made the NCAA Tournament last season, in addition to all eight conference opponents.

SCHEDULE HIGHLIGHTS

Seton Hall will open the 2022 campaign when they take part in the Tiger Invitational hosted by Auburn. The Hall will open up with two games apiece against the host, Auburn, and UMass Lowell over two days, Feb. 11-12. The Tigers were an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament last season.
The Pirates will then travel to Baltimore Md., when they take part in the Retriever Round Robin #1 hosted by UMBC from Feb. 19-20. The Pirates will take on the likes of UMBC and Saint Joseph's over the two-day tournament. The Retrievers of UMBC made the NCAA Tournament each of the last two seasons as the conference representative of the America East conference as the two-time defending conference champion.
The Hall will also head out to the west coast, to take part in the Libby Matson Tournament hosted by University of the Pacific. From March 4-6, the Pirates will play two games against Nevada, two against Pacific and one against Idaho State. The two matchups with the Nevada Wolfpack will be the first in program history.
