Kutztown University Announces 2025 Softball Roster

Kutztown University will have 26 student-athletes representing its softball program for the 2025 season.

Read the full season preview.

The Kutztown University softball team will once again have a veteran bunch leading the way in 2025 as it looks to follow last season and make another deep postseason run.

The Golden Bears, led by newly minted National Fastpitch Coaches Association Hall of Famer Judy Lawes, were selected third in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East Division preseason poll, as voted on by the league's head coaches.

Last year's cast led the way to a 37-25 record that included a 19-13 conference mark and the second seed in the PSAC East. It was their fifth consecutive season with at least 30 wins (not including the shortened 2020 campaign) and their fifth consecutive season earning at least one win at the PSAC Championship, a period that includes the PSAC Champions of 2022.

Despite falling in the PSAC Championship to East Stroudsburg, they took care of business in the NCAA Atlantic Region four-team pod by advancing past East Stroudsburg, Shippensburg and Bowie State and matched up with Charleston in the Super Regionals, making them the lone PSAC team to advance to the second round.

Ten doubleheaders provide opportunities to catch a glimpse of the 2025 Kutztown softball team at North Campus Field, with the first coming against non-conference foe Jefferson on Saturday, Feb. 22 at 1 and 3 p.m. KU hosts Holy Family the following Saturday (Feb. 28) before starting home conference play against East Stroudsburg (Tuesday, March 18) and finishing the regular season at home against Shippensburg (Saturday, April 26).

The postseason charge begins with the PSAC Championship at Quakertown's Veterans Park Wednesday, April 30 to Saturday, May 3. They hope to conclude their season at the NCAA Division II College World Series, which takes place May 22-28 at Frost Stadium at Warner Park in Chattanooga, Tenn.

The Golden Bears begin their season with a pair of North Carolina tournaments, visiting UNC Pembroke for the UNCP Invitational (Friday, Jan. 31 through Sunday, Feb. 2) and traveling to Mount Olive for the Mount Olive Tournament (Friday, Feb. 14 through Saturday, Feb. 15).
