Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Concordia University softball program never got to celebrate a senior day ceremony, as would normally happen each April. The program says goodbye to a group of nine seniors. Those who were around for the past four years helped the Bulldogs to a combined four-year record of 95-49. Head coach Shawn Semler’s 2020 team had a mark of 12-2 when the remainder of the season was called off.
