RAWLINGS FINAL NCSA TOP 20

Where they started is where they finished.  The 2022 NCSA World Series National Champions, the Virginia Tech Hokies began atop the preseason rankings and remained there for most of the season until Sacred Heart dethroned them for two straight months.  But after claiming the 2023 NCSA World Series, the Hokies are back where they began…the #1 Team in the NCSA sitting atop the RAWLINGS FINAL NCSA TOP 20!  They will hold that title until the 23-24 season begins.  Who is going to be the next #1 team in the county.  Stay tuned.  The 23-24 season will be here before you know it!

Thank you all for a great season!

VT B2B NATIONAL CHAMPS

Virginia Tech takes home the 2023 NCSA World Series after defeating the University of Iowa 4-2 in the National Championship Game.  The Hokies become the first back to back champs since the U.S. Naval Academy in 2018 and 2019.

The NCSA World Series MVP was awarded to Alyssa Martin from the University of Iowa whose outstanding performance throughout the World Series surpassed all others.

RAWLINGS MAY NCSA TOP 20

Entering the NCSA World Series with a perfect record (15-0, 31-0), Sacred Heart University-Red stays atop the NCSA Rankings at #1.

Iowa, who made a big splash last pool comes in at #2 after winning the Mid-America Regional Tournament and Michigan State rounds out the top 3 after they took home the Great America Regional Championship.  GVSU makes a huge jump from #18 all the way to #4 after they upset Wisconsin in the championship at the Great Lakes Regional Tournament.  Finally, the Hokies from VT round out the top 5 after they took home the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship.  The Hokies have their eyes on repeating as National Champions down at the 2023 NCSA World Series.

Lot’s of shakeups in the last poll before the final NCSA poll of they year.  Check out the Rawlings May NCSA Top 20 to see where everyone lands.
