2024 Schedule
 
Butler softball coach Scott Hall has announced the Bulldogs' schedule for the upcoming spring 2024 season. The schedule features games against five different teams that reached the NCAA Tournament in 2023.
 
Butler will participate in four early-season tournaments, beginning with the Northern Iowa Tournament in Cedar Falls, from Feb. 9-11. The Bulldogs will face 2023 NCAA Tournament qualifier Omaha to open this event. In addition to the host, scheduled opponents include Western Illinois, Drake, and Northern Illinois.
 
A week later, Butler will participate in the Georgia State Tournament, Feb. 16-18, facing the host school as well as Belmont and South Dakota.
 
The Bulldogs' lone trip to Florida this season will be the Spring Games in Madeira Beach, Feb. 23-25. Middle Tennessee, a 2023 NCAA Tournament qualifier, and Cornell are among the opponents.
 
The final tournament of the early season will be hosted by Marshall. In addition to the host school, Butler will compete against Purdue and Radford.
 
Prior to the beginning of BIG EAST play, Butler will host IUPUI for a single game, the first home event of the season. In addition to this contest with the Jaguars, additional non-conference games against in-state opponents are sprinkled throughout the BIG EAST schedule and feature Indiana, Ball State, Indiana State, and Southern Indiana. The Bulldogs will also host 2023 NCAA Tournament qualifier, Miami (Ohio) for a midweek contest on April 9.
 
The first BIG EAST series for the Bulldogs begins on March 8 when Providence travels to Indianapolis for three games at the Butler softball field. In addition to this opening series, from Mar. 8-10, Butler will host conference series with UConn (Mar. 21-24), Seton Hall (Mar. 29-31), and Creighton (Apr. 19-21).

For the final series of the regular season, the Bulldogs will travel to Villanova, Pa. to take on the Wildcats from May 3-5. The top six teams in the conference standings will qualify for the BIG EAST Tournament, which begins May 8. 
 
Hall is entering his 14th season in the Butler dugout. The Bulldogs return every defensive starter, both infield and outfield, this season. The top-three returning hitters, all over .300 last season, are redshirt-junior Paige Dorsett (.366), sophomore Cate Lehner (.333), and junior Sydney Carter (.306). Senior Monique Hoosen led Butler in 2023 with 14 home runs, while Dorsett and junior Ella White were tops for the Bulldogs with 30 RBI each.
