Texas Tech unveils five-game fall softball schedule
Texas Tech softball will play five fall games to give Lubbock fans an early look at the Red Raiders' newest roster, with four of those matchups set for Tracy Sellers Field.
The fall slate works like a preview, not a real season. Official softball doesn't start for months, but coaches use these games to test lineups and get new players reps in front of home crowds.
For Tech softball fans, this is the first real chance to see how the roster has changed since last season wrapped up. Transfers, freshmen, and returning starters all get mixed together in these fall matchups, and it's often the only hint of what the spring lineup might look like. Diehard Red Raider fans will want to mark these dates, since fall games usually draw a smaller crowd than the regular season opener.
Four home games and one road trip round out the fall schedule.
