Augusta, GA – Augusta University softball has officially unveiled its 2025 fall schedule, featuring an exciting lineup of three competitive matchups against Division I opponents. The season kicks off on Saturday, September 20, with a doubleheader in Rock Hill, South Carolina, where the Jaguars will face Winthrop at 11:00 a.m. followed by a game against Winston-Salem State at 4:00 p.m. at Cherry Park.
The second game of the fall schedule is set for Saturday, September 27, at Georgia Southern in Statesboro, Georgia, commencing at 1:00 p.m. The fall season will conclude on Saturday, October 18, with a matchup against Georgia State in Atlanta, also at 1:00 p.m. This robust schedule is designed to provide critical evaluation and practice opportunities for the team.
In addition to their competitive endeavors, Augusta University Athletics ranks ninth in the NCAA Community Engagement Impact Challenge, which runs from September 1 to December 15. Since August 1, Augusta’s student-athletes have dedicated over 325 hours to community service, generating an impressive economic impact of over $11,000. The Augusta softball program is a leader within the department, contributing the highest total hours served in community service among all athletic teams. Their service projects include activities such as tutoring youth, serving meals, cleaning parks, and supporting local shelters.
Enhancements are also on the horizon for the softball program as the university plans facility renovations at Jaguar Field, which aim to elevate the fan experience at games. Key renovations will include the installation of 225 chairback seats behind home plate and the addition of an official press box. Historically, fans have had to sit in grassy areas or on small bleachers, highlighting the urgent need for these improvements. These renovations demonstrate Augusta University’s commitment to improving athletics and providing a better viewing experience for supporters.
Furthermore, the renovations will see the construction of new batting cages outside the softball field, which will replace the ones that were damaged by Hurricane Helene in the fall of 2024. This effort coincides with previously completed enhancements at the baseball stadium, underlining the university’s dedication to developing its athletic facilities.
Renovation work on Jaguar Field is expected to begin in the coming weeks, with the aim of completing the project before the start of the 2026 season. The renovations mark a significant investment in the future of Augusta University athletics, which began with improvements to Christenberry Fieldhouse, nearing completion.
Overall, the upcoming fall schedule and the planned facility renovations signal an exciting time for the Augusta University softball program, as they prepare for a competitive season while continuing their commitment to community service and enhancing the university’s athletic offerings.
