ANN ARBOR – The “Michigan Softball Academy” sponsored by the University of Michigan Wolverines softball team is transitioning to a virtual format for the second straight year.
It has been held annually for the last 12 years and since its inception more than $1.3 million dollars has been raised for the American Cancer Society’s “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” initiative.
In 2018, the Wolverines and legendary Head Coach Carol Hutchins, now in her 37th season leading the Wolverines, became the first women’s collegiate team to raise $1 million dollars for the American Cancer Society.

It has been 695 days since Michigan played a game at Alumni Field and they made it worth the wait.
Michigan State softball started off their five-game week with a 6-1 loss against Michigan after six and a half innings.
The Spartans only put up one run in the duration of the game due to the energy from Michigan starting pitcher, Alex Storako.
We appreciate that bit of great news about Michigan Softball and Meghan Beaubien, Jumbo.
With College Basketball deeply into the tournament season and all the uncertainty in the sports world over the last 12 months, it s been too easy to forget about Michigan Softball, Baseball, and other Wolverine teams.
Thanks big guy!

USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll. The Sooners (12-0), who earned 27 first-place votes and 792 points, return to the top for the first time since May 6, 2019.

The Sooners recorded a school-record 28 hits in a 33-4 victory over New Mexico, while also tossing a perfect game versus the same Lobos in their tournament opener.

It s been almost a full calendar year since Michigan Softball last played a game, but hope is on the horizon: the 2021 Michigan Softball season starts this Friday down in Leesburg, Florida. I have been told by media sources that every game this weekend will be streamed on BTN+, in addition to live stats being provided, so there will be plenty of ways for fans to follow along. With the season now just a few days away, I decided to pen my Michigan Softball 2021 Season Preview, covering the roster, the schedule, and what to expect in this ever-so-unusual campaign.
