SMYRNA, Tenn. – The No. 22-ranked UIndy softball team kicks off its 2026 campaign at the annual Music City Invitational this Friday and Saturday just outside of Nashville, Tenn. Led by 22nd-year head coach Melissa Frost, the Greyhounds a set for an opening day twin bill in-region Tiffin University on Feb. 6, a rematch of last spring's NCAA regional opener.
 
Coach Frost returns eight starters from last year's conference-championship-winning roster. The Hounds won 42 games in 2025, thanks to a deep postseason run. After earning the six seed in the GLVC Tournament and a number of all-league honors, UIndy caught fire, sweeping through the conference tourney and later winning its half of the NCAA Midwest Regional bracket. The Greyhounds earned walk-off wins in both the GLVC and Midwest Region title games before eventually dropping the final contest of the best-of-three Super Regional at Saginaw Valley.
 
This spring, the Hounds are scheduled to play 20 neutral-site competitions and four conference road games before finally coming home on Saturday, March 21.
