Penn State Softball has an opportunity to embark on a successful 2025 season.

With the rise of superstar Bridgett Nemeth and a lineup featuring strong hitters on both sides of the batter’s box, the Nittany Lions made their first appearance in the College Softball World Series in over a decade last season.
