    Muhlenberg Ousted in NCAA Softball

    Ober, Davis Earn First-Team All-Region Honors
    (May 11) - Gettysburg OF Erin Ober and Ursinus P Lauren Davis were named to the NFCA All-East Region first team recently.

    Muhlenberg Reigns as Centennial Champion
    (May 3) - "The Muhlenberg softball team had everything fall into place - most notably a ton of raindrops - and claimed the 2009 Centennial Conference championship. The Mules had a 1-0 lead after four innings of their elimination game against Gettysburg when play was halted due to rain. The game had been played in a light to steady rain, but as the day wore on the field conditions worsened and the ball became harder to grip. After waiting more than an hour without a break in the rain, game officials determined that the field could not be restored to playable condition in time to complete the game and the rest of the tournament. By CC policy, the championship and automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament went to the highest remaining seed in the tournament, which was second-seeded Muhlenberg. The top seed, Ursinus, was eliminated on the first day after losing to Haverford and Gettysburg."
