SEATTLE – The Seattle U Redhawks have announced their schedule for the 2023 season, announced head coach Donny Harrel. With first pitch on the new season just over two months away, the Redhawks are set to host 23 home games at Bannerwood Park and have several key matchups with Power Five opponents.
Seattle U will open the new campaign in College Station, Texas, when they square off with the Texas A&M Aggies in a three-game series starting on Friday, Feb. 17. After another three-game series, this time vs Long Beach State in California, the Redhawks will play their home opener when they host NAIA powerhouse Lewis-Clark State on Wednesday, Feb. 28.
"We are very excited about the schedule we put together this year, especially with opening up against a College World Series team from 2022 in Texas A&M," said coach Harrel. "Our non-conference opponents will really test us with all of the Pac-12 schools and an always tough Long Beach State."
The Redhawks will face three of those Pac-12 teams in March, starting with a matchup with Washington State in Pullman on the 7th. That is followed by a trip to Los Angeles to battle the USC Trojans on the 22nd, before Oregon State comes to Bannerwood Park on the 29th.
The crosstown rivalry with the Huskies will also be back in the new season, with three games scheduled with Washington. The Redhawks will host UW on Tuesday, May 2, and will play at Husky Ballpark on the other two occasions.
Seattle U will play a 30-game conference slate in 2023, which includes familiar foes and new faces. Conference play will open with a series vs the Sam Houston Bearkats starting on Friday, March 10. They will host WAC newcomer UT Arlington over the weekend of March 31. The Redhawks will also face both representatives from the WAC in last season's NCAA postseason, Grand Canyon and New Mexico State, on the road this season.
"We look forward to our crossover conference schedule this year and it will be fun for the guys to visit some new towns in our country," added coach Harrel. "Conference will be very difficult, but this group should be up for the challenge.
The 2023 WAC tournament will once again be played in Mesa, AZ, at Hohokam Stadium. This years tournament will start on Wednesday, May 24, with the championship game being held on that Saturday.
More information on single-game and season tickets will be announced at a later date.
