History

Since joining the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in 1990, the Saints have managed to win one regular season title, doing so in 2013 in a tie with Fairfield. [4] [5] Despite their successful 2013 regular season, the Saints failed to win the MAAC tournament championship, losing their opening game to Niagara and were eliminated by Fairfield. [6] They won the 2024 MAAC tournament, and advanced to the 2024 NCAA Division I softball tournament for the first time in program history. [7]

Siena's head coaches have won the MAAC Softball Coach of the Year award twice, doing so in 1999 with Barb Finke and in 2013 with Bill Lajeunesse. [8] [9] The team has also won three MAAC Softball Player of the Year awards, winning in 2012 with Shannon Jones and in 2017 and 2019 with Madysen Cossack. [10] [11] [12]
