The 2016 Auburn Tigers softball team is an American softball team, representing the Auburn University for the 2016 NCAA softball season. The Auburn Tigers play their home games at Jane B. Moore Field.[2]

In 2015, the Auburn Tigers softball team went 56-11 during Clint Myers second season, and won its first SEC Softball Tournament on May 9, 2015, at Tiger Park in Baton Rouge, LA, by defeating #11 Tennessee in extra innings. Auburn garnered a #4 seed in the 2015 NCAA Division I Softball Tournament, and hosted a regional and super regional at Jane B. Moore Field in Auburn, AL. Auburn won both the regional and super regional and advanced to their first 2015 Women's College World Series at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, OK. They made it to the Semi-Finals of the tournament, where they lost to eventual champion Florida by a single run in a second extra inning.

In the 2016 preseason fall exhibition games the Tigers were 8-0, only surrendering 3 runs.[3]

In December 2015, Jane B. Moore Field began an 821 seat expansion along with more rest rooms, and will reconfigure the front of the stadium to add a grassy area for fans and kids before the first game.[4]

The Tigers 2016 regular season began on February 11 at home against Appalachian State. SEC Play began on March 12, when the Tigers hosted the #1 Florida Gators.
