“We are excited to have another challenging schedule,” said head coach Beth Torina. As always our SEC competition will provide us with a great challenge and give our fans an opportunity to see some of the nation’s best competition. Also, hosting talented non-conference teams such as ULL and Oklahoma State, as well as several others will continue to add strength to our schedule and help our team to be sharp throughout the year.”

LSU will host four non-conference tournaments in the months of February and March, opening up the 2020 season with the Tiger Classic (Feb. 6-9), which includes two matchups with 2019 NCAA Tournament team Oklahoma State. The LSU Invitational (Feb. 14-16) and the Purple and Gold Challenge (Feb. 21-22) will follow and will include prominent teams in ULL and Sam Houston State, both 2019 NCAA Tournament teams.

The Tigers will participate in the Judy Garman Classic (Feb. 27-29) in Fullerton, California, taking on LMU, Texas Tech (2019 NCAA Tournament opponent), California, Washington (2019 Women’s College World Series team) and Colorado State (2019 NCAA Tournament team).

The 24-game SEC slate begins March 13-15 with a three-game series on the road at South Carolina. Last season, the Southeastern Conference sent all 13 teams to the NCAA Tournament for the third-straight year. The eight weekends of conference play will begin in early March and close in May with the Tigers hosting Mississippi State, Georgia, Tennessee and Missouri. The Mississippi State series will feature the Tigers annual Teal game on March 21.

Nine midweek matchups round out the 2020 slate, taking on Central Arkansas, Louisiana Tech (2019 NCAA Tournament team), South Alabama, Northwestern State, Southeastern, ULM, Lamar, Nicholls and McNeese State.

Games selected for television and streaming will be announced at a later date before the start of the season.
