Lake Land will again take on West Point during a fall softball season against university teams that is used primarily to prepare players for the ensuing official spring season.

The Lakers, who came within a game of advancing to another national tournament this past spring season, also plays Eastern Illinois and two California schools as part of its current 12-date schedule.

“One of the most disappointing things about last year was that we did not have a fall NCAA D-1 scrimmage schedule that previous players enjoyed,” Lake Land softball coach Nic Nelson said. “Hopefully, this year’s schedule can make up for it. This is the most aggressive and impressive fall scrimmage schedule I have ever put together.”
