FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Purdue Fort Wayne softball head coach Amber Bowman announced her program's 2025 schedule on Thursday (Dec. 5).
The 2025 campaign includes 44 regular season games with 13 of those games being played at home. The Mastodons will host their home opener against Akron following their first 21 away from home. They will play 24 Horizon League games this season, with three-game series against each of the eight league teams.
The 'Dons start their season up with a trip to Conway, South Carolina, as they play in the Kickin' Chicken Classic hosted by Coastal Carolina from February 7-9. The next week for the second and final tournament of the month, the team will travel to Martin, Tennessee to play in UT Martin's tournament on February 14-15.
Following a two-week break, the 'Dons will head out to Carbondale, Illinois for Southern Illinois' tournament on March 1-2, in which the 'Dons will get two games against Purdue and games against Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois. One week later, they will be on the road to Richmond, Kentucky to play in the Eastern Kentucky Tournament on March 8-9.
The 'Dons have one more non-league game in Muncie, Indiana against Ball State on March 1 before competing against IU Indy in Indianapolis to start off their Horizon League slate on March 14-15. The 'Dons will have their home opener against Akron on March 18, followed by their last non-league game with a short trip to Columbus, Ohio to face Ohio State on March 25. To finish off the month, they will return home to face Detroit Mercy in their second Horizon League series on March 28-29.
Starting off April, the 'Dons travel to Youngstown, Ohio to face Youngstown State on April 4-5 followed by a homestand against Cleveland State on April 8-9. The 'Dons are back on the road for back-to-back weekends for series against Oakland (April 12-13) and Robert Morris (April 18-19). The 'Dons host Northern Kentucky on April 25-26 and stay home for the last weekend of regular season league play when they will face Green Bay on May 2-3, with the last game being Senior Day at the Purdue Fort Wayne Softball Field.
The top six teams in the league will earn a bid to the Horizon League Softball Championship, which will be hosted by the highest available seed that meets facility requirements. The tournament runs May 7-10.
