Softball Finishes Remarkable Season in Tuscaloosa at NCAA Regionals

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It was a season to remember for the LIU softball team.

The Sharks, which clinched its first trip to the NCAA Division I tournament since 2016, finished its season at the NCAA Regionals against Central Arkansas on Saturday evening.

LIU, which won the Northeast Conference postseason title against Merrimack, wrapped up its season with 32 wins under Roy Kortmann, who completed his 29th season as the head coach of the LIU softball program.

"What a season, said head coach Roy Kortmann. "I am so proud of this team. We battled all year long and I know we were all thrilled to be here playing on the biggest stage."

Prior to the Sharks' regional match up against Alabama on Friday night, sophomore pitcher Lindsey Cowans earned third-team All-Northeast Region by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.

Graduate student Camryn Lyman led the team with 52 hits and 36 runs. 

"I have so much to be thankful for, said Lyman after the game. "I'm so grateful for this team and for coach Roy and the rest of the staff. I left it all out there."
