LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Kansas softball team announced Thursday it has 43 dates slated for the 2021 season with an anticipated number of 51 contests spread amongst them.
Four-straight nonconference tournaments, open up the year for the Jayhawks, including trips to LSU (Feb. 12-14), North Texas (Feb. 19-21), UTSA (Feb. 26-28) and Arkansas (March 5-7). Kansas will then return to Arrocha Ballpark to open up a three-week stretch of nothing but home contests: South Dakota State (March 11), the Jayhawk Invitational (March 12-14), the Rock Chalk Challenge (March 20-21), Arkansas (March 24) and Oklahoma State (March 26-28).
“As of today, I feel really good about our schedule and the preseason tournaments we are competing in,” head coach Jennifer McFalls said. “We definitely had to make some adjustments, but overall, I am pleased that we have been able to still schedule 51 games. Hopefully, we will be able to stick to that, but we will just have to take that one week and one day at a time.”
