The Central softball team garnered a number seven ranking in the country in the final NFCA Division III softball coaches’ poll released on Monday. Central started the postseason ranked 16th, and followed that up with a sweep of their regional tournament to earn a berth in the Division III World Series in Eau Claire, Wisconsin a few weeks ago. The Dutch lost both of their games Montclair State and Texas-Tyler in the national finals to close their season with a 32 – 10 record. Iowa Conference foe, Luther, was ranked just above them in sixth.
