Softball Announces 2022 Schedule

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech softball and coach Aileen Morales announced the 55-game 2022 regular season schedule on Monday, highlighted by 34 home games and four Atlantic Coast Conference series at Mewborn Field.

Georgia Tech enters its fifth season under Morales, bringing back 15 returners from last season’s squad. Among the notable returners are Justin’s World of Softball Third Team All-American, NFCA First Team All-Region and First Team All-ACC first baseman Tricia Awald along with First Team All-ACC and All-ACC Freshman Team catcher Emma Kauf. The decorated duo is joined by ace right-hander Blake Neleman as well as regular starting middle infielders Bailee Zeitler and Jin Sileo.

The stable of returners is bolstered by the Yellow Jackets’ No. 17 ranked 2021 recruiting class, tabbed second amongst the ACC and composed of eight highly-touted new Jackets.

2022 Schedule Highlights

  • The Jackets opens the season with the 23rd Buzz Classic, including Marshall, St. Joseph’s and Villanova.
  • Tech will welcome five 2020 NCAA Regional participants to The Flats in Villanova, Kennesaw State (home and home), Duke, Florida State and Troy.
  • The White and Gold will take on a total of nine Regional squads from a season ago, also hitting the road to face Mississippi State, Kennesaw State (home and home), Georgia, Notre Dame and Clemson.

Among the 10, the latter five were ranked inside the top 25 in RPI, led by the No. 4 Seminoles, who advanced to the Women’s College World Series Final.
  • The White and Gold will host four ACC series this season, including Duke (March 4-6), Florida State (March 11-13), Syracuse (March 25-27) and NC State (April 15-17).
