Nota Bene: VWU Softball Opens NCAA Championship Play Today!

 

May 29, 2025


Good morning,

Today’s the day! VWU softball opens play in the 2025 NCAA Division III Softball Championship Series at Inspiration Field in Bloomington, Illinois, and we couldn’t be more proud of how this talented program represents our university on and off the field. The Marlins (46-3-1) will be seeking their fourth NCAA National Softball Championship.

The Marlins once again enter the national spotlight following a dominant postseason run:

  • ODAC Champions: The team captured its 16th Old Dominion Athletic Conference title with a 5-0 tournament sweep.
  • NCAA Regionals: VWU defeated Messiah 12-4 to complete a 3-0 run through the regional bracket.
  • Super Regionals: The Marlins swept Gettysburg in a best-of-three series, including a decisive 10-1 victory to punch their ticket to the NCAA Championship round.

We wish skill, strength, and success to Head Coach Brandon Elliott 03, his coaching staff, and the entire team as they aim for another historic championship.

Let's go, Marlins!


Sincerely,
