Softball Unveils Schedule for 2020 Campaign

MACON, Ga. – Mercer Softball Head Coach Stephanie DeFeo has announced the schedule for the upcoming 2020 season.

The Bears' spring slate is comprised of 28 home games, 16 road games and 12 at neutral sites. Mercer will be hosting three tournaments during the 2020 season.

"We are excited to announce a challenging schedule," commented DeFeo. "Our preseason schedule will prepare us to compete at the highest level once we get into our conference season. We have a few exciting home series with Georgia Tech, Florida State and Auburn. We have a very talented team, and I feel these competitions will prepare us to be ready when we face our Southern Conference Opponents."

The Bears open the season at home with the Mercer Invitational (Feb. 7-9). Mercer then travels to Georgia Southern (Feb. 12) for a single game before heading to Madeira Beach, Fla., for the Madeira Beach Tournament (Feb. 14-17).

Mercer will remain in Florida to play Florida A&M (Feb. 19) before returning home for the Black & Orange Challenge (Feb. 21-23). Mercer closes out its first month of action at the Alabama State Tournament (Feb. 28-March 1).

The Bears return home for a doubleheader with Auburn (March 4) prior to heading back on the road for the Oklahoma State Tournament (March 6-8). Mercer returns to Sikes Field for a matchup against in-state foe Georgia Tech (March 11) before hosting its third and final tournament of the spring with the Mercer Bears Classic (March 13-15).

The Black and Orange will open Southern Conference play on the road with a doubleheader at Western Carolina (March 21) before closing out the series with a single game against the Catamounts (March 22). Mercer then welcomes Florida State (March 25) to Macon, Ga., for a midweek doubleheader ahead of a weekend series with Samford (March 28-29) at home.

The Bears will spend most of the month of April traveling as they only have one home series in the month. They begin with a SoCon matchup at UNCG (April 4-5) and remain in North Carolina to take on N.C. State (April 10-11) for three games the following weekend. Mercer makes a quick stop at home to face Furman (April 18-19) for its lone home games of the month before embarking for Chattanooga (April 25-26).

Mercer closes out its regular season slate at home with a weekend series on Family Weekend against ETSU (May 2-3) before the SoCon Tournament (May 6-9) begins.
