The Washington University Bears are part of the NCAA Division III. They belong to the University Athletic Association conference along with Brandeis University, Carnegie Mellon University, Case Western Reserve University, Emory University, New York University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Rochester. However, Carnegie Mellon, New York University, and the University of Chicago no longer participate in UAA conference play in softball. In its short history, the Bears have won 5 UAA championships and have made 6 consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament, including a runner-up finish in the College World Series in 2007.

[edit] 3 History

The Washington University Softball program had its first varsity season in 2000. Efforts to begin a softball program began several years prior, however, when interested students formed a "club" team and competed against teams in the St. Louis area. In its first year as a varsity sport, Washington University captured the UAA title; since then, the team has won an additional 4 UAA championships. The first head coach was Cindy Zelinsky, who coached from 2000-2005 and posted an overall record of 178-68. Zelinsky led the Bears to 3 University Athletic Association championships and 4 trips to the NCAA tournament. In 2006, Leticia Pineda-Boutte took the helm and posted a 37-7 record, including a UAA championship and trip to the NCAA tournament. In 2007, she led the Bears to a 35-7 record and a runner-up finish in the College World Series.
