Basketball has its madness in March. But college softball can lay claim to some mayhem of its own that begins in mid-May and runs into June.

VTU was the only undefeated team last weekend at the highly competitive Northern Lights/Southern Nights Invitational in Leesburg, Florida. Returning All-American Keely Rochard was named Outstanding Player, as she picked up three wins and a save in the circle, throwing complete game wins over three top-25 teams in Northwestern, Missouri, and Kentucky. Kelsey Bennett was a hitting machine at the plate for the Hokies, with an OPS of 1.457 for the five games.

In just a few short weeks, the world's largest softball event will be in full swing, THE Spring Games. Known as the hotspot for early season collegiate competition, THE Spring Games is ready to embark on its biggest year yet.

Women’s college softball is considered a spring sport, but the season begins in deep winter, creating a disadvantage for northern teams. A new event, the Northern Lights/Southern Nights Invitational, is coming to central Florida on the opening weekend of 2022 and will address this disadvantage by matching top teams who never or only occasionally practice outdoors before the season begins.

For two weekends in February, the fields in Leesburg, Florida will be the focal point for some of the top NCAA softball action in the country as the 2021 edition of THE Spring Games opens play.
