GREELEY, Colo. – Head Coach Mike Anderson announced the 2024 Northern Colorado Baseball schedule Monday.
The Bears open with 15 straight road games, including four the opening weekend in Ruston, La., against Louisiana Tech Feb. 16-18. The Bulldogs finished 28-31 overall in 2023, with a 15-15 mark in Conference USA play, ranking sixth in the 10-team league.
"This challenging schedule will help build and grow our program in a direction that emphasizes development on and off the field," Anderson said. "A full Division I slate; will provide some tough road games early and prepare us for the Summit League portion of our schedule."
UNC remains in the south for its next three weekends, with trips to Tarleton State (Feb. 23-25) in Stephenville, Texas, followed by a trip to Las Cruces, N.M. for a four-game set against New Mexico State (March 1-4). The Bears conclude the road trip at Georgia, beginning a three-game series March 8.
Tarleton State completed the 2023 season at 26-26 overall, including 10-18 in Western Athletic Conference play, just ahead of New Mexico State's 14-37, 9-21 mark. In the Southeastern Conference, Georgia placed 11th overall and sixth in the East Division, with a record of 11-19 against conference foes and 29-27 in all matchups.
Rounding out the non-conference schedule features two midweek games at Utah March 19-20 and four contests against Air Force. The Utes went 22-32-1 in 2023 and finished last in the Pac-12 at 9-20-1. UNC and the Falcons in Colorado Springs, Colo., April 1 and 30, with Air Force making trips to Greeley, April 9 and 23.
