Over the last 43 years, the Seminole program has done its part to help grow the game exponentially in that time span by churning out numerous All- America players, staffing quality coaches and stringing together many impressive seasons, including 10 trips to the Women’s College World Series as well as the 2018 NCAA National Championship and the 1981 & 1982 AIAW National Championships. With the 2021 season marking head coach Lonni Alameda’s 13th as the Seminole skipper, the direction of the program remains on the right path. Forty-win seasons continue to be a staple of the program, with 36 in the program’s 43 years, including 19 50-win seasons. NCAA Championship appearances are always expected, with the Seminoles being one of just nine schools to make an NCAA Regional in every year since 2000. Historically, there are not many programs that can match the numbers put up by Florida State: 17 Atlantic Coast Conference titles, 10 NCAA Women’s College World Series appearances, one NCAA national championship, two AIAW national titles, 34 All-Americans with 51 total All-America honors and 32 NCAA Championship appearances. Being a Florida State softball student-athlete does not mean the sole focus is just on the field. Joining the program puts you in an instantaneous family that is fostered by a fun-loving coaching staff that brings out the best in each player through team-building activities. In addition to the years of tradition etched in the Florida State softball program, the concept of team never holds a greater meaning than for those dressed in Garnet and Gold. Led by Alameda’s fun yet focused approach, Florida State softball student-athletes leave their careers with life-long memories. 2021 SOFTBALL | PAGE 2 10 WCWS APPEARANCES • 17 ACC CHAMPIONSHIPS • 32 NCAA APPEARANCES THIS IS FLORIDA STATE SOFTBALL COMMUNITY AND ACADEMIC PRIORITIES Community and Academic Success • Seminole Softball completed over 1,000 hours of community service in the last academic year; a testament to the hard work and commitment of the FSU softball coaches and players. • The Seminoles recorded a 100 percent participation rate in a variety of activities, including Literacy Week, National Student-Athlete Day, Miracle League Softball, as well as meeting with cancer patients at Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare. • The Noles also “adopted” Madison Marshall in 2016 through a partner- ship with the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation.
