Despite the dedicated efforts of a small group of student-athletes and coaches, a combination of unforeseen circumstances has left Tompkins Cortland Community College unable to field a softball team for the Spring 2025 season.
Two teams and 15 individual Tompkins Cortland Community College student-athletes have been honored for their academic excellence by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). The men’s golf and women’s soccer teams were named NJCAA Academic Teams of the Year for having a team GPA of better than 3.0.
Seventeen Tompkins Cortland Community College student-athletes have been honored for their academic excellence by Region 3 of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). To be eligible, student-athlete need to have a minimum gpa of 3.5 over the course of the 2023-24 academic year.
Leading the way with postseason honors for the Panthers softball team, Abby Foley (Barton/Tioga H.S.) has been voted to the NJCAA Region 3 Softball All-Region Team for the second straight year. Foley was voted to the second team as a utility player, becoming the first Panther softball player to repeat on the al-region team since Samijo Scheer and Tayler Fravel accomplished the feat in 2012.
The Tompkins Cortland softball offense was firing on all cylinders Tuesday as the Panthers ended the season with a doubleheader split with Erie Community College. The Panthers Panthers end the seasons with an overall record of 6-16 and a Region 3 record, which includes forfeits, of 9-15.
