Progress in the Making

BY: Alex Roberson The Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) softball season has been remarkable to watch lately. The success of the team keeps getting better and better. Their overall record is 24-6 with a 12-3 record in conference play. In the Gulf South Conference (GSC), the team still sits in the top three seeds within the conference. There are still a lot of games left to contribute to the great season so far. The team suffered a disappointing 5-9 loss against Embry-Riddle University at the Embry-Riddle Tournament early in the season. As the Warhawks shook off the loss, they had an astonishing 15-0 win against the University of West Georgia on Feb. 26. After beating a conference opponent, the University of West Florida 8-1, AUM is currently on a seven-game win streak. There is a...

AUM Softball Could Benefit from Stoppage in Play

BY: Jason Martin With so many sports programs across the country being affected by the CoViD-19 virus, there can be positives taken from the nationwide sports hiatus that was put into effect by the NCAA and the Gulf South Conference. One benefit to the stoppage in play could lay with the AUM softball team. The Warhawks were tabbed to be one of the top teams in the country after being picked third in the Gulf South Conference preseason polls, and that is where they currently stand at the break. After winning seven games in a row, the Orange & Black brought their record to 17-5 on the year with an 8-4 record in conference action. The Warhawks were about to enter a critical GSC series at the AUM Softball Complex against No. 25 Alabama Huntsville, but the season was put on hold the day...

AUM Softball Embraces Underdog Role In 2020

BY: Jason Martin Auburn-Montgomery Athletics does one thing very well: spring sports. AUM Tennis is one of the powerhouses at the NAIA level, and their play in the transition phase from NAIA to NCAA DII proves that AUM tennis will not go away anytime soon. At Q.V. Lowe Field, the Warhawks have just two losing seasons in baseball in the history of the program. Playoff appearances, all-conference nominations, and national championship appearances are expected of AUM Baseball. AUM Softball, meanwhile, has never registered a losing season. The Warhawks opened play in 2009 and have already won two national championships. The transition has been tough on many other AUM teams, but softball has been exempt from this category. In 2019, the Warhawks finished third i...
