Following the finish of its fall games, Iowa State softball has released its 2019 schedule. The team will have six non-conference tournaments before Big 12 play begins.

The Cyclones begin the season with the Florida State tournament, where they will face the North Carolina-Greensboro Spartans, the Florida State Seminoles and the North Carolina-Wilmington Seahawks from Feb. 8-10.

After the Florida State tournament, the Cyclones will head to the west coast to compete in the Stanford tournament from Feb. 15-17, along with the Colorado State Rams, the Stanford Cardinal, the Pacific Tigers and the Portland State Vikings. 

The Cyclones head back to the east coast to compete in the College of Charleston tournament in Charleston, South Carolina. The Marshall Thundering Herd, the Radford Highlanders, the Appalachian State Mountaineers and the Dartmouth Big Green are the opponents the Cyclones will face that weekend. 

Before Big 12 play begins, the Cyclones will play in three other tournaments: the Grand Canyon tournament, the Cal Poly tournament and the Cal State Fullerton Tournament. 

Iowa State will travel to face its rival, the Iowa Hawkeyes, on April 10 in Iowa City. 

The Cyclones’ Big 12 opener is a home series on March 29-31 against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Cyclones Sports Complex will host 18 games for the Cyclones, including 12 conference games and six non-conference games.

Each Big 12 team will play each other three times, with all three games against a certain Big 12 opponent taking place on one weekend.

The Cyclones round out their regular season against the Kansas Jayhawks from May 3-5.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma will once again be the host city for the Big 12 tournament on May 10-11.
