Full Rankings
INDIANAPOLIS- The Division II softball national committee released its second Regional Rankings of the year on Wednesday afternoon, and West Chester (29-18) was ranked sixth in the Atlantic Region in the first numerical ranking of the season.
Following a sweep of Shippensburg (not yet reflected in the rankings as this week's batch reflects games played on or before April 21), West Chester is one six PSAC teams in the top eight and one of seven in the top-10 as Gannon is currently among the first out, ranked ninth with a record of 21-11 on the year.
East Stroudsburg (36-12) and Shippensburg (30-12) hold the top two spots in the rankings followed by Charleston (39-2) in third, Bloomsburg (28-17) in fourth, and Kutztown (27-18) in fifth just ahead of the Golden Rams. Millersville (22-21), whom West Chester won three of four in the season series against, resides in seventh in the rankings followed by Glenville State (20-18) in eighth as the final team in the eight-team field if the NCAA Tournament began today.
After yesterday's sweep of the Raiders, marking the Golden Rams' first sweep of Shippensburg since 2021, West Chester has won three in a row and six of its last nine overall, catapulting itself into a tie for second place in the PSAC East heading into the final two doubleheaders of the regular season on Friday at home vs. Kutztown and on Saturday at Shepherd, with both sets starting at 1 p.m.
The final regional rankings of the year are due to be released next Wednesday (May 1) ahead of the Division II Softball Tournament Selection Show on Monday, May 6 at 10 a.m. The show will air on NCAA.com.

The Golden Rams game two setback brought their historic 2024 season to its conclusion, finishing just one game shy of the Super Regionals after starting a perfect 6-0 postseason for the first time since 2017.
- Softball Prepares for Rematch vs Third-Seeded Charleston in Pod Final on Saturday Afternoon at 12 p.m.CHARLESTON, W.V.- After defeating third-seeded Charleston (W.V.) (47-5) by a 2-1 final earlier today, the West Chester University softball team (36-20) finds itself just one win shy of a return trip to the Super Regionals heading into Championship Saturday as the Purple and Gold look to go unbeaten for the second week in a row. In order to complete this task and improve to 7-0 in the postseason, West Chester will need to defeat Charleston tomorrow in another elimination game for the Golden Eagles beginning at 12 p.m. at the Watt Powell Annex in Charleston, West Virginia. Should West Chester drop its first game tomorrow, it will be the Golden Ram's first loss since the last Saturday of the regular season and first postseason loss; however, it will not end the season as an if-necessary game would be played following that conclusion.
