Quotes

Head Coach Julie LeMaire – Coming out against Oklahoma Christian this am, we made some crucial mistakes to put ourselves behind by 5 runs and it was good to see the girls battle back and fight to the end even though we came up short. After we fought so hard and didn’t secure that win, it’s hard to decide how the following game will go. Cassidy Duskin came out on the mound and set the tempo right away! To be able to silence their hitters is extremely difficult, but to throw a perfect game against them is incredible! Our defense stepped up behind her for a true team effort in the win. Many people go through their entire career and will never throw a perfect game and she did it the first weekend among one of the best teams in the region. Cass has ice in her veins and isn’t scared to compete against anyone, I’m so proud of her!

Cassidy Duskin – I am so blessed for this opportunity. For my last year, I decided to travel 15 hours from home, and I would not change that decision for anything else. Thank you to my team and my coaches for having my back in this moment. This is the best accomplishment I have ever had in my softball career, and I’m so grateful I got to experience it for my last ride. Thank you God for giving me this new home, and thank you to my younger self for never giving up.

What's Next

The Sharks will head back home to play their first game at the NSU Softball Stadium, taking on East Stroudsburg in a doubleheader on February 7th. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The first pitch for the Nova Southeastern Softball team is right around the corner. With just under a month remaining, Head Coach Julie LeMaire and her squad have officially announced their 2025 schedule.  

“We are excited to open up another season at the Gulf Shores Invitational, which will give us the opportunity to face many very talented teams in our region and the nation,” stated Head Coach LeMaire. “This will be a great weekend for us to prepare for a tough conference and home schedule. This group of young women has been working very hard in the off-season, and we can’t wait to get started!”

NSU will compete in 54 games this spring, with 29 being played at the newly built NSU Softball Stadium.
