Kentucky softball opened its 2024 season this weekend in the San Diego State Season Kickoff tournament in San Diego, California, and came out with four wins and a loss.

The highlight of the tournament was the Cats defeating No. 3 Stanford twice – the first time they have defeated a top-5 team in back-to-back games since 2021.
