2010 Softball Schedule
Liberty Head Softball Coach Paul Wetmore has announced the Lady Flames' 2010 schedule.
"Once again, we have chosen a very challenging non-conference schedule to prepare for the Big South," commented Wetmore.
"Facing opponents like last season's second-ranked team, Alabama, perennial powerhouse Tennessee, as well as Kentucky, Tennessee Tech and Virginia Tech, will prepare us well for the season.
"Big South softball is highly ranked nationally and it takes a complete team to win it all and go to the NCAA Tournament. We expect a very exciting year."
The 2009 Big South Championship runner-up Lady Flames will kick off the 2010 season on Feb. 14, 2010, competing in the UNC Charlotte Tournament in Charlotte, N.C.
