BUFFALO, N.Y. — Canisius head softball coach Kim Griffin announced the team’s 2018 fall schedule Thursday. In all, the Golden Griffins are set to play seven fall-ball games, starting Sept. 22 in the annual Nan Harvey Fall Classic.

The Griffs will wrap up the fall slate Oct. 6 on the road in Olean, N.Y., with a doubleheader against St. Bonaventure. Game times for that twinbill will be announced in the future.
