The Rockets will take on four teams that competed in the 2024 NCAA Softball Championship, including three conference champions.
“I am excited about the schedule we were able to put together for the 2025 season,” said Bracamonte. “We have a strong lineup of teams ahead of us in the non-conference season that will help prepare us for MAC play. I feel really good about the mix of experience and young talent that will make up our lineup this year. I can’t wait to watch this team to take the field opening weekend in Columbia.”
