HILO, Hawai'i – The 2024 Hawai'i Hilo Softball schedule will have 47 total games on tap with more than half of them played in the home state.

(UPDATE 12/13/23): The Division 2 Cactus Classic schedule has been revised with the Vulcans now taking on Davis & Elkins College instead of San Francisco State. 

The Vulcans will start the season in Tucson, Arizona at the Division 2 Cactus Classic, opening against Minnesota State Moorhead, San Francisco State, Nebraska-Kearney, Adams State and Western New Mexico.

Despite spending more than half the season in Hawai'i, the Vulcans will have only 13 true home games at the Vulcan Softball Field starting with an exhibition against Josai International University from Japan on Feb. 13. Following back-to-back weekends on O'ahu with games against HPU and Western Oregon, the Vulcans will host Dominican for one of their two Pacific West Conference home series against mainland teams this season. The other will be against Academy of Art to close the month of March.

Sandwiched between will be away contests at Azusa Pacific, Concordia University Irvine and Biola before finishing the two-week road trip at the Tournament of Champions, presented by the City of Turlock.

Hawai'i Hilo will then close with six slated matchups against Chaminade along with a doubleheader with HPU in the regular-season finale on April 21.

The top four teams in the conference standings will qualify for the PacWest Tournament set for May 1-3 in San Rafael, California hosted by Dominican.

Vulcans head coach Aisha Sueda enters her third season in charge of her alma mater, after serving six seasons as an assistant following a four-year playing career from 2009-2012.

All home games are played at the on-campus Vulcan Softball Field with free admission.
