ALEXANDRIA, LA – The No. 13 Louisiana State University of Alexandria softball team is excited to announce its 2026 schedule.
 
"We're extremely excited for the upcoming season," LSUA Head Coach Trent Partridge said. "We made a conscious effort to challenge ourselves by scheduling as many Top 25 opponents as possible. With 18 games against teams ranked or receiving votes, plus a double header against a Division I opponent, this schedule was built with the end goal in mind. If we want to be where we expect to be in May, we have to test ourselves early. Exciting things are ahead."
