The Division II portion of THE Spring Games features a strong field that includes nine teams that are either ranked or appeared in the NCAA Tournament last season.

The 2023 collegiate softball season finally is underway, and teams from across the country have wasted no time finding ways to showcase (or hone) their skills on the diamond.

In most conferences, one team enters the season as the odds-on favorite to win the league’s regular-season title, but in 2023, the South Atlantic League is shaping up to buck that trend on the softball diamond, with four teams tightly bunched at the top, according to the league’s coaches.

Rogers State head coach Andrea Vaughan wasn't shy about sharing the goal for her team in 2023, despite knowing it hadn't been done in decades: Repeat as the Division II national champion.

With the return of NCAA softball just days away, the storylines heading into the 2023 season are endless, particularly at the Division II level, where a new power could be emerging in the sport, while other top programs return loaded lineups, strong pitching staffs or some combination of the two – all with their sights set on a trip to Denver.

As softball filled the crisp, thin mountain air of Denver as part of the Division II Softball Championship over the past few days, there was only going to be one school that could leave the Mile High City with a sparkling-new national title trophy.

Starting February 25, NCAA Division II Softball will be back in action at THE Spring Games. Not only are there going to be hundreds of Division II teams battling it out, but we have some key matchups taking place between teams ranked in the Top 25.

The smell of softball season is in the air and we’re less than a month away from opening day. While we’re all excited for the return of home runs and farmers’ tans, we’re equally as excited for the return of some serious strikeout leaders in NCAA Division II.

THE Spring Games is right around the corner as teams from NCAA Divisions I, II, III, NAIA, and NJCAA will be participating in the world's largest collegiate softball event from mid-February to the end of March. THE Spring Games competitions will be available on live stream or on video-on-demand exclusively on FloSoftball.
