PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. - Heading into year No. 20 under Head Coach
Hank Manning, the Pace University baseball team has officially released its schedule for the 2020 season.
Â
Coming off a 30-win season a year ago, the Setters are slated for 46 contests in 2020, with 21 taking place at Pace's Peter X. Finnerty Field.
Â
"Our league always provides a tough schedule, and this year our non-conference games are just as difficult," said Manning. "I think that is a good thing as it will be a test for our team to come play with their 'A Game' each and every day."
Â
The season begins with a four-game weekend in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The Setters will play their first two games of 2020 in a doubleheader against University of Bridgeport on Feb. 21. before playing Post University and Concordia College on Feb. 22 and 23 respectively.
Â
Pace opens up at home on Feb. 29 with a doubleheader against Bloomfield and a final game in the series on March 1. The Blue and Gold will then host Nyack College (March 3) and Queens College (March 4) before playing a home-and-home series against New York Tech and Felician University from March 6 to March 16.
Â
Conference play begins on March 20 with a four-game series against the University of New Haven. Pace will play all four games in Connecticut, including a doubleheader on March 21.
Â
The Setters then return home for a four-game series against Adelphi University to wrap up the month of March. April will begin with a single matchup at Molloy College ahead of four games in Springfield, Mass. against American International College.
Â
The first time playing at home in April will be a weekend of back-to-back doubleheaders against the College of Saint. Rose on April 10 and 11.
Â
Pace will then travel for a single game against Queens (April 14), before a five-game homestead against Southern Connecticut State University from April 17-19 and a single game against Molloy in Pleasantville on April 23.
Â
Pace will conclude the 2020 regular season with eight straight games on the road, beginning with three games at Bentley (April 24-26) followed by a single game on the road against Dominican and four games in doubleheader fashion against Le Moyne College (May 1-2).
