SENATOBIA - Two months removed from an impressive season that saw Northwest make its deepest postseason run, the Ranger softball program is already looking ahead to next season with the unveiling of the team's fall exhibition schedule.

Northwest opens fall action on Wednesday, September 15 at UT Martin for a 3:30 P.M. tilt, followed by a Saturday doubleheader at Jackson State Community College in Jackson, Tenn. on Sept. 25.

From there, Northwest will travel to Mississippi State on Friday, October 1 for a round robin series between the Bulldogs and Wallace State-Hanceville, before closing out the fall schedule with a doubleheader at Freed-Hardeman University on Saturday, October 16.

Times for the remaining three dates will be updated when available.

Northwest finished 20-18 last season, earning its first postseason appearance since 2017. The Rangers defeated Northeast in the MACCC Tournament to earn a bid into the NJCAA Region 23 Tournament at LSU-Eunice, knocking off the host and 15th-ranked Lady Bengals to capture the program's first-ever Region 23 tournament victory.

This season, third-year head coach Chelsea Bramlett will boast a stacked roster featuring several key newcomers and returning veterans Saige Koczka, Maddie Brower, Kaitlyn Bednarek and Caylee Comer, among others.

Northwest will unveil its 2022 regular season schedule later in the fall.
