zips going dancing for the third time in the 2025-2026 academic year!  Four when you count our swimming/diving champs. Great day- once again- to be a zip.

You can throw in track and field in there to make it five. ☺️

Congratulations to the Zips.  Nice contingent of fans at Firestone Stadium on a beautiful afternoon.

I think having Dustin and his crew there for few of the games made the difference.

Way to take care of business and not risk this going to Sunday! Go Zips!

Zips get four players on the all tournament team, Cantrell, Lee, Glass and MVP Madie Jamrog. Felt like Lily Sullivan certainly could have been included but I guess five is getting a little greedy. 🤣

Overall successful year for athletics. Love to see a spring team go on a run

[zipsrule]

The Zips get LSU.

The “Akron Racers” will play LSU 

[clarkwgriswold]

The woman announcing the selections called them the Racers.

Don't you mean the Racers get LSU? 🤦‍♂️

Were we the top 4th seed then? Since we were the final region

If they did it that way, then yes. But I assume some 4ths were placed geographically and not by seeding.

It seemed like how they do soccer. The unseeded team were mostly placed in geographically close locations

Go zips!

The Zips get a 1-0 win over South Alabama in 8 innings for their first ever NCAA tournament win.

Finish it off, ladies!

[mes102]

Zips added two more runs in the bottom of the 5th. Also had bases loaded with 0 outs in the bottom of the 6th but couldn't get anything in play after that (3 consecutive strikeouts). 

 

Zips lead 6-1 going to the top of the 7th. They just need 3 outs to defeat the #11 team in the country (some have them ranked #14, but there is one that has them at #11 and that's the one NCAA is using on live stats).

Not great fielding in this 7th. Zips clinging to a 2 run lead with 0 out

[zippyfan34]

Screw instant replay if they can’t get it right

[Zippy87]

Absolutely screwed by whoever is running instant replay. Wow. 

[mes102]

Zips now trail 7-6 going to the bottom of the 7th. Zips down to their last 3 outs.

Not scoring any runs in bottom of the 6th with bases loaded and 0 outs shifted the momentum of the game. Tough loss to end the season.

[Reslife4Life]

That's a rough way to get eliminated. But what a season for softball! I remember a few years ago this team would be lucky to crack 10 wins in a season
