Softball Declared BCSN NAIA Division HBCU National Champions

Softball Declared BCSN NAIA Division HBCU National Champions
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on June 17, 2022

There are now two national championship teams that call 1658 Kings Road in Jacksonville, Florida home. On Wednesday evening, the Edward Waters softball program joined their baseball brethren as they were declared by the Black College Sports Network as the 2022 NAIA Division HBCU National Champions, earning them their first softball national championship in program history.



The Lady Tigers received 153 points in the BCSN NAIA Division computer poll, finishing ahead of Huston-Tillotson (20-23, 145 points), Xavier (20-30, 140 points), Talladega (12-29, 124 points, and Jarvis Christian College (19-26, 123 points).

The Purple & Orange finished their 2022 campaign with a 32-11 overall record and received a bid to the Continental Athletic Conference Tournament back in early May.

Edward Waters also served notice to their future foes in the SIAC, as the Lady Tigers finished 13-3 against SIAC opponents in 2022. Against other fellow HBCU opponents, the Lady Tigers went a combined 21-3 during the season as well.
