CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian College softball head coach David Williams has uncovered the full regular season layout for the program's 17^th season at the Division I level and his incoming sixth go-around, announced on Thursday morning.

Comprised of 53 matchups – 26 of which will be held at the recently-renovated PC Softball Complex – Presby's '24 slate includes a 10-game home sequence right out of the starting blocks and an additional eight-game stretch of home-only meetings in the thick of Big South Conference play through April.

"We look forward to the 2024 season with great expectations", commented Williams upon becoming PC's winningest coach in the D-I era last spring at 103 victories and counting. "We have enjoyed on-the-field success the last few years and look to continue that in the immediate future with hopes of bringing a conference championship to Clinton".



 
FEBRUARY
Two strings of five-game weekends will begin PC's journey (all set from their home turf), tossing the season's first pitch on February 9 at 2:30 versus Tennessee Tech. Presbyterian takes on TTU twice in that three-day span as well as Norfolk State, with a Feb. 10 date against Alabama A&M sandwiched in between.

The following weekend sees the same blueprint only with different opponents, battling Morehead State and Youngstown State twice each along with a one-off against Valparaiso from February 16-18.

Queens will be the first school to tussle with the Blue Hose outside of South Carolina, hosting coach Williams' squad for a February 21 doubleheader that leads into a four-game Georgia Southern tournament (also involving Purdue Fort Wayne) that weekend.

 
MARCH
PC will close the month by welcoming Wofford on the 28^th, beginning a five-game homestand that bleeds into March. Both Drexel and Albany will make the Palmetto trip for a quartet of meetings on the 1^st and 2^nd, finishing a sequence of 15 out of 21 games to be held on the group's home base.

A visit to the Sunshine State will await thereafter, headed to Jacksonville to face the Dolphins but not before back-to-back DH's on the 8^th and 9^th versus reigning MAAC Tournament champion Marist and Tarleton State.

The final foe before Big South competition gets underway, Western Carolina will be the destination to close PC's seven-contest spurt away from home, enacting a doubleheader in Cullowhee on March 12.

Williams' unit will have home field advantage for the '24 league opener in a three-game series with Winthrop, making a quick excursion to Furman for another non-conference DH on March 20.

Presbyterian will continue to dip in and out of Big South affairs, returning to divisional action near the end of the month in an expedition to Longwood.

 
APRIL + POSTSEASON
Starting on April 3, the Blue Hose will find their second-longest home streak of the calendar but at a price of being forced to remain the visitor for the final nine regular season dates. They'll host South Carolina State for a Clinton two-parter before staying put for the next six against Charleston Southern and USC Upstate.

The last duals to be held outside of the conference umbrella, PC will face off with ACC stalwart NC State on April 20 and 21. From there, they'll wrap up the spring shift with consecutive weekend series at Gardner-Webb and Radford.

May 9-11 are the dates set in stone for the Big South Tournament, a four-team bracket that will take place in nearby Rock Hill. Presby will look to return to the postseason after winning 36 games and making the league semifinals in 2021, putting together a 25-22 overall mark a year ago.
