Head coach Jordan Petersen announced the Beavers’ 2023 schedule Thursday, which includes 56 regular-season games, including 16 for the BSU softball field. The season begins February 11-12 at the Kelly Laas Memorial Tournament hosted by St. Cloud State.
BSU will play 24 non-conference games, including matchups at the Bubble Invite 2 hosted by Minot State (February 17-19), the Spring Games in Winter Haven, Fla. (March 5-10) and the Missouri Western State Tournament (March 17-19).
