In 3A, the Eaton Reds defeated University 9-1 in a rematch of two teams who faced off in the state semifinals in 2021.

 In 4A, Lutheran defeated Holy Family in a close 3-0 game after both teams advanced to the finals with 8-2 wins in the semis.

In the 5A final, Columbine – a year after finishing runner up in 2021 – defeated Douglas County 7-3 in a matchup of the top two seeds. The final four featured a powerhouse of all four top seeds – Columbine, Douglas County, Erie and Fossil Ridge. Columbine finished the year with an incredible 28-1 record.

Congratulations to all the players and teams! We love supporting our Colorado softball community.
