Earlham softball took its leap forward in year three, scoring the HCAC Tournament Championship and representing the conference in the NCAA Regional Tournament. The Quakers posted a 26-19 record in the regular season, and a 13-5 conference mark. After entering the tournament as the No.3 seed in the standings, Earlham scored wins over Bluffton, Franklin and Transylvania before claiming the championship on a walk-off hit by Malaya Tanglao against the Pioneers on the final day of competition. The Quakers went on to compete in the Angola Regional hosted by Trine University. Bo Shelton was named HCAC Player of the Year after leading the conference in home runs. Mack Harvey and Macie Ferguson joined Shelton on the first team All-HCAC. Shelby Hill and Morgan Cooksey earned second team honors.
The Quaker record reversed in year two with a 25-16 overall record and an 11-7 conference record. Earlham took down top-seeded Franklin College in two games in Ellie Bewley Stadium, and upset Mount St. Joseph on the road in the final weekend of competition. The Quakers went into the conference tournament as the third seed. Morgan Cooksey earned a second consecutive all-conference honor, while Tatum Rickert placed on the first team.
In the softball program's first year back on campus, Goyette led the team to a 15-26 overall record. An 8-10 conference mark saw the Quakers qualify for the HCAC Tournament as the sixth seed. Freshman Bo Shelton earned first team All-HCAC honors while pitcher Morgan Cooksey placed on the second team.
