Atlantic East Conference - Softball

The Atlantic East Conference administers NCAA Division III softball, publishing schedules, standings, statistics, a conference championship and coach-selected awards. Marymount University won the 2026 regular-season title with an 11–1 Atlantic East record, then completed the championship tournament undefeated. The Saints defeated Neumann 2–1 in the final to retain the conference title and receive the Atlantic East automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Softball Tournament. The league’s head coaches vote for the All-Conference teams and major awards, which in 2026 included Player, Pitcher and Rookie of the Year, Elite Scholar Athlete and Coaching Staff of the Year.
