The Salisbury University Sea Gulls softball program kicks off the 2026 campaign holding the 18th spot in national rankings, as the team sets its sights on another NCAA Division III tournament appearance.
With a dozen returning players from last season’s roster, including half a dozen seniors providing veteran leadership, the Sea Gulls are positioned to make their sixth consecutive trip to the NCAA Division III Softball Tournament.
The university competes at the NCAA Division III level with its primary conference affiliation being the Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference. Additionally, Salisbury maintains affiliate memberships across multiple conferences: the New Jersey Athletic Conference for football and swimming programs, the Coastal Lacrosse Conference for men’s lacrosse, the State University of New York Athletic Conference for field hockey, and the Colonial Women’s Golf Conference for women’s golf.
Salisbury University’s athletic department supports more than 500 student-athletes competing across 23 varsity sports programs. The institution has established itself among the nation’s premier intercollegiate athletics programs across all divisions, backed by committed coaching staff and administrators who emphasize achievement both in competition and academics.
The Sea Gulls’ athletic legacy includes an impressive collection of 23 team national titles, 24 individual national championships, and 207 conference titles. The program has also developed 54 Academic All-Americans throughout its history.
