Syracuse, N.Y. – The 2022 Le Moyne College softball team is slated to open its season on Saturday, February 19, as the team's schedule was released on Friday afternoon.

The 48-game schedule will feature 14 home games, 22 road contests and 12 neutral-site matchups, including 26 games against Northeast-10 Conference foes and 22 against non-conference opponents. For the third straight year, the NE10 is scheduled for round-robin competition among its 14 teams for the first time since the 2012 season. The first two attempts were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We have assembled an extremely challenging line-up of non-conference opponents early in the season to help prepare us for play within a very tough NE10 conference," said head coach Tracey Roman. "Our tough strength of schedule is challenging and necessary to achieve and maintain the level of play required for success in the NE10 and on a national level."

The Dolphins begin the season on Saturday, February 19 in Anderson, South Carolina with a doubleheader at Anderson University. The following day, the Dolphins take on Catawba College in a doubleheader in Salisbury, North Carolina. The team wraps up its opening weekend on Monday the 21st with a doubleheader at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, N.C.
