What's Ahead
Indiana softball will play a challenging non-conference schedule, highlighted by playing the defending national champion Oklahoma Sooners and runner-up Florida State Seminoles. The Hoosiers will make a return trip to the Sunshine State to play in an event hosted by Florida State Feb. 25-27. The Hoosiers will play at home at Andy Mohr Field for the first time in 2022 when they host Valparaiso and Western Illinois March 5-6. The following weekend the Hoosiers travel to Louisville and play the host Cardinals, Ohio and Eastern Kentucky. The final non-conference trip will see the Hoosiers travel to Oklahoma City, Okla., for the Hall of Fame Classic. In addition to playing No. 1 Oklahoma, the Hoosiers will face Houston, Sam Houston State, Iowa and San Diego.
Roster Breakdown
The Hoosiers graduated seven seniors from Team 48 and have added seven newcomers to the roster for this season. The 2022 roster features 20 student-athletes with 10 upperclassmen. Grayson Radcliffe returns for her final season. The 2021 All-Big Ten Second Team performer hit .315 with 39 hits, 25 RBI and 16 stolen bases last season. The Hoosiers also return First Team All-Big Ten and All Freshmen Team standout Grace Lorsung. Lorsung tallied 29 hits and 20 RBI in 2021.
