The No. 11 University of North Georgia softball team saw its season come to an end on Saturday afternoon as the Nighthawks fell 3-0 to No. 9 Western Washington in the 2025 NCAA Division II Softball Championship at Frost Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The loss ends a historic season for the Nighthawks, who posted a 48-16 record and won their 11th consecutive Peach Belt Conference Regular-season Championship.
While the end of the season was not the result the Nighthawks wanted, the team made significant history under first-year head coach Brooke O’Hair. The team won its fourth regional title in the last five years with a win over Francis Marion (FMU) in the 2025 Southeast Super Regional, marking the first time in O’Hair’s 19-year career that she has made a trip to the National Championship site. The team also won the PBC by five games after being picked to finish second.
