After a disappointing 0-3 weekend against Harvard in its first home conference matchup of the season, softball returned to Columbia Softball Stadium to take on Yale. The bout was softball’s fourth conference series of the season.

In her eighth season at the helm of the Columbia softball program, head coach Jennifer Teague is no stranger to winning softball.

In its second week of conference play, Columbia softball traveled to Ithaca for an instate rivalry matchup against Cornell.

In its first conference matchup of the season, Lions softball traveled to Philadelphia to take on Penn before its home opener, a midweek non-conference matchup against Iona College.

After a 3-1 midweek loss on the road to Fairleigh Dickinson University, the Columbia softball team traveled to Towson, Maryland to compete in the TU DeMarini Invitational, where it was slated to play four games. The Lions left the weekend with a 1-2 record after their rematch with Providence College was suspended in the first inning due to poor field conditions. The Light Blue lost three out of four on the week as a whole.

In its first competition in nearly two years, the Columbia softball team traveled to the FAU Strike Out Cancer Tournament in Boca Raton, Florida, where it won one of its five matchups. With 10 of the 19 players on the roster playing their first collegiate games, the Columbia program is building experience with a tough schedule heading into the 2022 Ivy League season.

When head coach Jennifer Teague was hired in July 2014, she found herself leading a squad that had been struggling in matchups, often finishing the season near the bottom of the conference standings.

After snapping a five game losing streak and earning its most dominant win of the season against Harvard, the Columbia volleyball team fell 3-1 to Rider University Wednesday in its first out-of-conference contest in over a month. Rider came out of the gate with an aggressive offense, easily commanding the first two sets. Although a reenergized Columbia team came back to dominate in the third, the Lions ultimately lost in a close fourth set.
