College Softball: NCAA Softball’s “Decade of Champions” Highlights 2010-2019 WCWS Winners!

If you’re like us, this is the worst time of the year.

Why?

Because, for most of the country, the days are cold, short and gloomy and we’re facing a month in January that seems to have 45 days in it. And, thanks to holiday parties and goodies, we’re 5-10 pounds heavier than a month ago.

But… here’s some great news: we’re only weeks away from the start of the softball season, at least at the college level, and with that it means spring is right around the corner!

We’ll go with that for now.

Today, most of the country returns back to work or school and we wanted to highlight something you may have missed over the Christmas/Holiday break.

NCAA Softball’s Twitter page did a great year-by-year package of the champs of the Women’s College World Series for the 2010-2019 decade which, ironically, opened and closed with UCLA Bruin capturing DI titles!

Here are the tweets of each of the 10 seasons (@NCAAsoftball)…
