TROY, Ala. – The Troy softball team opens the 2020 season playing host to Lipscomb, Western Kentucky, College of Charleston and North Florida in the Trojan Classic this weekend at the Troy Softball Complex.

The Trojans open up play on Friday at 3 p.m. against Lipscomb followed by a 5:30 p.m. game against College of Charleston. Admission is free for all games.

In their sixth year under head coach Beth Mullins, Troy looks to build upon a record-breaking 2019 season where they posted a program record 19 conference wins and held a program best 14-game win streak.
