DAYTON, Tenn. — The Lady Lions Softball program is excited to officially announce their 2025-26 season schedule. This year's slate is loaded with high-level competition from start to finish, blending a strong mix of conference showdowns and challenging non-conference battles. With a talented young group stepping in and a core of returners ready to lead the way, there's plenty of anticipation building around what this squad can accomplish.

The Lady Lions waste no time diving into the deep end, opening their season on the road in Florida with marquee matchups against No. 19 Southeastern University and Warner University. After the early road test, Bryan returns home for its Home Opener on February 13th, welcoming RV UT Southern to Dayton for what should be an electric early-season matchup.

Conference play kicks off on February 28th as the Lady Lions host Columbia College, marking the beginning of a competitive AAC schedule.

This year's schedule is no cakewalk, but the team is embracing the challenge. The Lady Lions will square off with five Top-25 or RV opponents in the NAIA, giving them plenty of opportunities to make statements throughout the spring. Their ranked and RV matchups include: UT Southern (RV), Freed-Hardeman (RV), No. 19 Southeastern, No. 15 Reinhardt, and No. 4 Georgia Gwinnett.

With experience returning, new talent arriving, and a schedule built for growth, the Lady Lions are poised for an exciting season ahead.
