DIII SOFTBALL COMMITTEE The NJCAA Division III Softball Committee is

responsible for setting policies and procedures for the approval

by the NJCAA Board of Directors. This committee is made up of

NJCAA Region Directors, Assistant Region Directors and the

NJCAA Softball Coaches Association President.

Each NJCAA Region Director will submit, in

rank order with overall records, the top teams

in their region for poll consideration. The

region rankings will then be handed over to

Sectional Directors to create a Top 10. The

NJCAA will release seven Division III softball

rankings on a weekly basis beginning March

14. In order for a team to be eligible for

ranking they first must have their schedule/

results and stats up to date on the NJCAA

website. They must also then be submitted by

their region director to the national office for

poll consideration.

The NJCAA Top 10 will be released each poll

date on the NJCAA (www.njcaa.org) website.

2012 DIII Softball Preseason Poll

Making only their second trip to the national

tournament, the Roadrunners claimed the 2011

title. Gloucester will rely on several new additions to

the roster in 2012 as they attempt to be the first

team to repeat as champions since Monroe CC (N.Y.)

won three straight between 2006 and 2008.

#1 GLOUCESTER

Rank College Returning Starters 2011 Record

1 Gloucester County College, N.J. 3 49-5 Despite losing most of last season’s championship squad, the Roadrunners are favored to repeat in 2012.

2 College of DuPage, Ill. 5 50-8 The Chaparrals return two of the nation’s top base stealers as they make a run towards their fifth national title.

3 Tompkins Cortland Comm. College, N.Y. 5 34-8 Returning two All-Americans, the Panthers will be one of the top teams in the highly-competitive Region 3.

7 Brookdale Community College, N.J. 3 42-9 After missing only their second of 15 national tournaments in 2011, the Jersey Blues are anxious to return in 2012.

8 Suffolk County Community College, N.Y. 3 19-16 Solidifying themselves as a consistent national tournament qualifier, the Sharks try to take it to the next step.

9 Herkimer County Community College, N.Y. 6 34-9 The addition of four All-State high school players will give the Generals a great shot at a district title in 2012.

2011 DIII National Tournament Results

Gloucester County College captured the Division III NJCAA National Tournament softball championship with a 6-4 win over College of DuPage. Gloucester snapped a 4-4 tie with two runs in the top of the seventh to win its first national softball title. Gloucester second baseman Justine Mattia started the winning rally with a lead-off single in the seventh. She scored on a two-out throwing error to snap the tie and Lauren O'Rourke followed with a bad-hop RBI single to left. Kristina Morgan then pitched a scoreless bottom of the seventh to secure the victory. Morgan came on in relief and threw three scoreless innings for the win. Roadrunners catcher Caitlyn Pipolo went 2-for-3 and had RBI singles in her first two at-bats as Gloucester built a 4-0 lead. Gloucester finished the season 49-5. DuPage, ranked No. 1 in the final national poll, finished 50-8 and was denied a fifth crown in school history.
