About The Team
The Springfield College softball program has been successful for many years and under the direction of third-year head coach
Julie Perrelli Springfield has continued that success.
The 2011 season saw Springfield advance to the NEWMAC Championship to the fourth-straight year before eventually bowing out. Owning a 26-15 record on the season, Springfield was led by a pair of sophomores,
Breann Joyce and
Kelly Blake, both of whom were NEWMAC All-Conference First Team selections.
The 2010 campaign was Perrelli's first on the sidelines for the Pride as she guided Springfield back to the NEWMAC Championship game for the third consecutive season. Led by the senior duo of Michelle Wlosek and Bryn Worrilow, the Pride owned a 23-18-1 record, including a 12-4 mark in conference action.
In 2009, SC won the NEWMAC post-season tourney as the #4-seed, going 5-1 in the conference tourney. The Pride then won three games in the NCAA Division III New England Regional in Beverly, Mass. as the #7-seed, ousting #2-seeded RIC and #4-seeded and host Endicott, along the way. There were only three teams left in that regional when SC finally fell to fellow NEWMAC-foe Coast Guard. It was SC's most successful NCAA Tournament run since entering the Division III ranks in 1996. Wlosek, who led the NEWMAC in hitting (.437), was named a Third Team All-American, as well as NEWMAC Player of the Year.
In 2008, SC finished 29-17, winning the NEWMAC post-season tourney with five straight victories over a two-day period. That allowed the Pride to reach the NCAA Division III National Tournament, where it opened in a Regional at Plattsburgh, N.Y. In 2007, SC finished 25-14, and was seeded #1 in the NEWMAC post-season tourney. In fact, Springfield won the NEWMAC regular-season title that year for the very first time. In 2006, SC finished 25-20, reaching the NEWMAC post-season tournament championship game.
