Springfield, Mass. – May 19, 2025 – Three student-athletes from the Springfield College softball program received accolades from the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) following a stellar 2025 campaign.

Junior Amelia DeRosa (Miller Place, N.Y.) and graduate student Callie Gendron (Berlin, Conn.) earned NEWMAC All-Conference First Team All-Conference honors, while graduate student Michaela Ponticello (Gloversville, N.Y.) was placed on the NEWMAC All-Conference Second Team.
