SALT LAKE CITY – Utah softball had a heck of a season in 2023 and they aren’t done making history as they prepare to be the first-ever live collegiate softball game broadcast on MLB Network.
On February 10, 2024, the Utes will face-off against Notre Dame with first pitch set for 11:00 am MT. It will be Utah’s first meeting with the Fighting Irish since 2016.
Utah finished last season with their first World Series appearance since 1994– something they are hoping to replicate and go further with in the coming season.
