DISCIPLINARY ACTION

The Loyola-Maryland Club Softball Program has been placed on probation for at least the remainder of the 2025-2026 NCSA Season for violation of NCSA Rule 19.01.0.  They forfeited 2 conference games during Week 28 of the NCSA Season.

ROSTER REMOVAL PERIOD

The NCSA allows teams to remove up to 8 players from their roster for any reason during the week long period of February 21-28.  This provides teams the opportunity for more roster flexibility for the spring portion of the season. Teams do NOT need to remove players if they do not wish to.  Again, this is simply an opportunity for teams to gain more roster spots to add new players if they don’t have the room to otherwise do so.  The roster maximum is 25 players.

If a team does wish to remove players, they must submit a signed document listing the players they would like to remove.  The document needs to be signed by two team officers and their faculty advisor (i.e. Club Sports Director).
