Statement on Status of 2026 Softball Season

BALTIMORE - The remainder of the 2026 UMBC softball season has been cancelled, it was announced today.

"After numerous meetings with our student-athletes, it became clear that we would not have the level of participation necessary to be able to safely complete the remainder of the 2026 season," said Director of Athletics, Physical Education, and Recreation Tiffany D. Tucker. "The health and safety of our student-athletes will always be our top priority, and we simply do not have a full complement of softball team members in order to continue participating on the field this season."

The program last competed on March 15. Bruce McConkey, who served as head softball coach at Catholic University from 2003 to 2023, was set to lead the program for the remainder of the season prior to the decision. He will continue to serve in an interim capacity until a permanent head coach is named.
