The Lamar Lady Cardinals softball team represents Lamar University in NCAA Division I college softball. The team competes in the Southland Conference. The Lady Cardinals are currently led by head coach Amy Hooks. The team played its home games at the off–campus Ford Park for the first two seasons following the program restart in 2013. The Lady Cardinals began playing home games at the Lamar Softball Complex located on the university's campus starting with the 2015 season.[3]

History

[edit]

AIAW era

[edit]

LU first sponsored softball from 1971[4] through 1977[5] competing in the AIAW. Lamar finished second in the 1972 AIAW Texas state tournament. In addition to other head coaching duties, Pat Park was the Lady Cardinals head coach for the initial seasons. Coach Park also served as women's head coach for basketball, tennis, and golf while she was at Lamar.

The off-campus Beaumont Athletic Complex served as the Lady Cardinals home during the 1971 to 1977 period.

NCAA Division I era

[edit]

In 1983 Lamar added softball as an NCAA Division I sport and competed in the Southland conference. Tryouts for the team were held on October 16, 1982.[6] The sport was dropped in 1987 when Lamar left the Southland Conference. Patty Calvert was head coach during the 1982–1987 period.

On April 22, 2011, Athletic Director Larry Tidwell announced plans to reinstate college softball as an NCAA Division I sport at Lamar University.[7] On August 1, 2011 former Morehead State head coach Holly Bruder was announced as the finalist to fill the head coaching position at Lamar after over 20 years with no program at the university.[8] The Lady Cardinals finished fifth in the Southland Conference in their first season of competition (2012–13) following the restart of the program. The team also earned a berth in the Southland Conference softball tournament.[9] Holly Bruder was removed as head coach on May 11, 2018.[10] On June 20, 2018, Amy Hooks was named as head coach for the team.[11]

Off–campus Ford Park was the home field for the first two seasons after the program was restarted. A new on–campus stadium was constructed in 2014–15. On October 17, 2014, a ground breaking ceremony for the new Lamar Softball Complex was held. The first game at the partially completed on–campus stadium was played on March 6, 2015 against the Houston Baptist Huskies. The stadium was completed following the 2015 season.
