The Merrimack Warriors softball team represents Merrimack College in NCAA Division I college softball. The team participates in the Northeast Conference (NEC). Following the 2023–2024 academic school year, the team will join the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).[3] From 1985 until 2019, the team was a member of the Northeast-10 Conference (NE–10), playing at the Division II level before transitioning to Division I in 2020.[4] The Warriors are currently led by head coach Elaine Schwager. The team plays its home games at Martone-Mejail Field located on the college's campus.[5]

History[edit]

During their time as a NCAA Division II program, Merrimack found significant success as a member of the Northeast-10 Conference, including winning the 1994 NCAA Division II softball championship over Humboldt State.[6][7] In addition to a national title, the Warriors won 12 regular season championships, eight conference tournament championships, and qualified for the NCAA tournament 15 times.[8] Since transitioning to Division I, the team has yet to finish a season with a winning record.

Merrimack won several awards during their time in the Northeast-10 Conference. The program won eight NE-10 Player of the Year awards, doing so in 1988 with Jenny Jenkins, 1993 and 1994 with Kim Page, 1996 with Daniela Paparo, 1996 with Raffaela Paparo, 1998 and 1999 with Stacey Dell'Anno, and 2002 with Katie Morgis. The team has also won six NE-10 Coach of the Year awards, winning in 1986, 1988, and 1992 with Bob DeGregorio, 1993 with Michelle Myslinski, and in 2009 and 2017 with Elaine Schwager.[9]
