MCCAA Awards Cap Solid Softball Season
The 2025 season campaign resulted in the softball team placing 3rd in the conference and heading to Marysville, MI for the NJCAA District 12 Tournament. In this tournament, the team was able to secure the school's first wins in NJCAA Postseason Play, which was an historic moment, and helping Lumberjack Softball have its deepest postseason run to date in its over 30-year existence.
This team has had a lot of things to be proud of and fulfilled many accomplishments throughout the year. In conference play, ACC's 23 home runs topped the MCCAA Northern Conference. The Jacks were second with their 206 runs scored and .551 slugging percentage.
