PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown softball head coach Kate Wheeler has announced the 2023 schedule for the Bears. Fans will have 14 dates to see the Bears at home at the Brown softball field.
The Bears have a tough schedule to get them ready for Ivy League play. During non-conference play, Brown will play 11 games against teams that finished last season in the top-150 in RPI and four teams that competed in the NCAA Tournament. The Bears will also be competing against SEC school for the first time in program history.
"We have intentionally created an arduous schedule," said Wheeler. "We have talent and depth this year and want to be prepared for our Ivy League games and this tough pre-conference schedule will test us and give us invaluable experience. Our goal this year is to compete day in and day out and earn a spot in the inaugural Ivy League Softball Tournament."
Brown starts the season at the Plainsman Invitational hosted by Auburn from February 24-26. The Bears will play Summit League stalwart North Dakota State and Auburn on the first day, followed by games against NDSU and Merrimack on the second day. The final day of the tournament will be against Merrimack.

The second weekend of the season will feature games at Georgia State (March 3), Kennessaw State (March 4) and Southern Miss and Georgia Tech (March 5).
To close out non-conference tournament play, Brown will travel to California for six games from March 10-12. The Bears play South Dakota and Purdue on March 10, Boston University and Sacramento State on March 11 and Colgate and Loyola Marymount on March 12.
Ivy League play begins for the Bears on March 18-19 with a three-game set at Columbia. The Bears first home game will be the following weekend with a three-game series against Princeton (March 25-26). Brown's remaining Ivy League home games will be against Cornell (April 7-8), Dartmouth (April 15-16) and Yale (April 29-30).
The Bears will play road Ivy League series at Harvard (April 1-2) and Penn (April 22-23).
Brown will have four midweek matchups during the season, hosting a doubleheader against Bryant on March 28, and traveling to Rhode Island (March 30), Holy Cross (April 11) and Providence (April 26).
The inaugural Ivy League Tournament will feature the top-four teams and will be played at the regular season champion on May 11-13.
