The 2026 CAA Softball Championship is underway at Hunt Softball Park in Elon, North Carolina, with six teams battling for the conference title and an automatic berth into the NCAA Softball Tournament.
Top-seeded Hofstra headlines the field after a historic regular season that saw the Pride post 21 conference wins under CAA Coach of the Year Susan Cassidy-Lyke. Defending tournament champion Elon returned to postseason play alongside Campbell, UNCW, Charleston and Stony Brook, setting up a bracket filled with rematches and familiar conference rivals.
Charleston opened tournament action with a win over Stony Brook, while Campbell advanced after a dramatic walk-off victory against Elon. UNCW enters the championship behind standout two-way star Camille Hamilton, who became just the third player in CAA history to earn both Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year honors in the same season.
