Women's softball has built a reputation for consistent strength while playing an ambitious schedule, including a pair of spring tournaments and a handful of regular-season match ups against nationally-ranked opposition.
The Bullets won Centennial Conference titles in 1994, 1999, 2007, 2018, 2021, 2024 and advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament five times (1999, 2007, 2018, 2021, 2024).
The Bullets had 11-straight seasons with 20 wins or more from 1997 to 2007 and have played in the Centennial Conference championship game nine times since 2001.

Away from the field, the softball program features one of the best academic programs in the athletic department. The Bullets have been a regular member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Top Ten All-Academic Teams and have had 15 Academic All-District selections since 2003, including five Academic All-Americans.
