What’s Next

Washington Softball currently reigns supreme in the Pac-12 and the nation at-large. But the rest of its conference schedule is anything but a walk in the park.

April is shaping up to be a challenging month for these Huskies. After a series against currently unranked Utah, the Dawgs will play three series in a row against ranked teams.

First up will be California, currently slotted at No.20 in the nation, at Husky Softball Stadium. Then they will do battle against two teams they beat in last year’s WCWS: UCLA, the No.4 team in the country, and No.5 Oregon.

The Bruins and Ducks will surely have revenge on their minds when they see the Huskies. But with Washington playing as well as it is now, it may be tough for those teams to have their way against the best team in softball.
