Looking to add their fourth Conference USA Tournament title in program history, WKU has now made the event for six-straight seasons and has its eyes set on May 8-11 in Las Cruces, N.M. as New Mexico State hosts.
Over the span of the season, WKU is slated to host 26 games and will match up against 14 different teams at the WKU Softball Complex. Flexible season ticket packages are now on sale for $50 that will give fans 25 tickets to use however they'd like -- the only game this season that requires a separate ticket purchase aside from the season ticket package, is when the Hilltoppers host Kentucky on Wednesday, April 17.
ESPN+ streaming will be available for most games and live stats will always be available at WKUSports.com. A streaming schedule for spring sports is expected to be released soon.
