A Record-breaking Softball Season

Among its many accomplishments, the Weber State women’s softball team scored a Big Sky Conference Championship during the 2022 season without allowing a single run.

The team was then selected as the third seed going into the NCAA regionals, the highest any Big Sky softball team has earned for the tournament. The Wildcats ultimately went 0-2 in the tournament, but still set several records while they were there.

The championship marked the ninth overall for the program. With the 13-1 conference record, the Wildcats had a .929 winning percentage — the highest in Big Sky Conference history.

Head coach Mary Kay Amicone was named Big Sky Coach of the Year for the third consecutive year. This season also brought her 100th career Big Sky Conference victory, making her the only coach in conference history to reach that mark.

“Our team and coaches have tremendous buy-in to our team culture,” Amicone said. “I’m very fortunate to have amazing coaches who really support me and our student athletes.”

Pitcher and first-base player Arissa Henderson, a transfer from Brigham Young University, was named Big Sky Conference Newcomer of the Year and led the conference with a 14-1 record.
