With spring drawing closer by the day, Rutgers softball fans had a reason to celebrate on Tuesday. The Scarlet Knights released their 2024 schedule, which will feature 56 games. Rutgers has a challenging road ahead during the 2024 campaign. They will face seven opponents from last year’s NCAA Tournament.
In non-conference play, Rutgers is set to face an exciting group of teams. That list includes future Big Ten opponent UCLA and NCAA super-regional participant Duke. They will also face West Coast Conference Champion LMU.
The fun will begin on February 9 in Houston. The Scarlet Knights are set to face Houston, Indiana State, and Colgate during opening weekend. They will continue their tour of the country with a stop in Miami starting on February 16 to take on FIU, Duke and Army.
