Stillman College Softball Clinches HBCUAC Regular Season Title

Stillman College has been crowned the 2025 HBCU Athletic Conference (HBCUAC) Regular Season Softball Champions, marking a significant achievement for the program. The Tigers secured the title after sweeping Dillard University in a three-game series this past weekend, finishing with a 12-0 record in the HBCUAC and an overall 23-7 mark.

This victory represents a historic first for Stillman Softball, as it is their first regular season championship since joining the NAIA. The Tigers had previously claimed the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference West Division title in 2015 and shared the SIAC regular season championship with Albany State.
