MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The Middle Tennessee softball team and Head Coach Jeff Breeden announced the 2017 schedule Friday. The slate features four early-season tournaments, including a return to California and two in Florida. The Blue Raiders will also face some national softball powerhouses in UCLA and Kentucky.
Of the Blue Raiders, 34 opponents in 2018, 12 were post season teams from 2017. This year the Blue Raiders will face two who had deep runs in postseason tournament play. One is UCLA, who played in the Women's College World Series last year and the other is Kentucky, who was a Super Regional competitor.
