Binghamton Bearcats Softball tops America East and heads to NCAA Tournament
VESTAL, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Binghamton Bearcats softball team went into the America East Tournament as the #1 seed, having not lost a game, and they didn't disappoint. In the second round, following a first-round BYE, the team knocked off Bryant in nine innings, then met up with UMBC. The Bearcats took down the Retrievers and then faced off with the Bulldogs once again, whom they topped 10-3, and became the America East Champions. The Bearcats are now heading to the NCAA Tournament. They have one of the longest trips, playing in the Eugene Regional in Oregon, facing the Stanford Cardinal. The other two teams in the Regional are the Oregon Ducks, the hosts, and the Weber State Wildcats. This is the first time Binghamton has made it to the NCAA Tournament since 2015. The team will make their way west on Wednesday and prepare to open up their Regional play at 5 p.m. on Friday. The game will be streamed on ESPN+. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Binghamton Bearcats Softball prepares for AE Tournament; Sweep Conference Honors
VESTAL, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – After being co-regular season champs last season and coming up short of the America East Championship, the Binghamton Bearcats Softball team dominated the competition this season, going 16-2 in the AE, and head into the tournament as the 1 seed. The team went 33-12 in the regular season and currently sits on a 7-game win streak. They are 9-1 at home, with their only loss at the Sports Complex being to out-of-conference Cornell. The team's conference losses came to the 2 seed, UMBC, in late March. They kick off their America East Tournament run on Thursday at 11 am, as they have a first-round bye, where they'll either face Bryant or UMass Lowell, which will be found out on Wednesday. 'I think that we knew right from the start of the fall that this was going to be a special team,' said Head Coach Jess Bump. 'They followed through and did everything that we were expecting them to do.' The tournament is hosted at the Bearcats Softball Complex. After the America East released the all-conference teams for 2025 on Tuesday afternoon, it was all headlined by Binghamton. Sophomore catcher and Groton native Elisa Allen was named Player of the Year in the conference. Junior Brianna Roberts got the nod for Pitcher of the Year. Rookie of the year was given to freshman Rachel Carey, and Head Coach Jess Bump repeated as Coach of the Year. The Bearcats are the first softball program in the America East ever to sweep all four major awards outright. In addition, Binghamton posted a conference-record seven first-team selections and nine overall picks. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Judge rules against dismissing suit against UMBC brought by former athletic director
A judge denied on Tuesday the University of Maryland, Baltimore County's motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by its former athletic director over allegations that he was fired in retaliation for reporting an ex-swim-coach's sexual misconduct — and then accused of enabling the misconduct. Filing the lawsuit in August, Brian Barrio argues that despite his role in reporting the misconduct of ex-coach Chad Cradock, Barrio was fired by UMBC and then 'scapegoated' by the university in statements following his dismissal. Cradock died by suicide in 2021, after resigning from his position following the announcement of a university investigation into his misconduct. A separate investigation conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice in March 2024 found that UMBC failed to protect student-athletes from Cradock. The following month, the DOJ announced a $4.14 settlement agreement to the former student-athletes who were sexually abused and harassed. The day before Barrio was fired, UMBC President Valerie Sheares Ashby issued a statement saying the university 'reset the Athletics Department's structure, governance, and reporting mechanisms, starting with making the athletic director a direct report to me.' She went on to say that those who failed to adhere to Title IX procedure would be held accountable. According to Barrio, this statement implied that his subsequent firing was connected with the UMBC athletics department restructuring and that he was one among those responsible for violating Title IX. This, in turn, has prevented him from finding employment elsewhere after his dismissal from UMBC, he said. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Brendan A. Hurson rebuked UMBC's assertion that their statement was not libelous in nature, stating that Barrio's allegations of libel are plausible. Barrio said that he went to Sheares Ashby after his termination, who agreed that this representation was false but that she and the university declined to rescind the statement or issue a correction. In its motion to dismiss, UMBC argued that the charges against Sheares Ashby, who is a named defendant in the suit, should be granted immunity, asserting that she did not intentionally release the statement and should not be personally held liable. Hurson denied this argument and wrote in his ruling that she would remain named in the suit. 'It is highly unlikely that Sheares Ashby believed the statements to be true on the day they were uttered,' wrote Hurson, 'but somehow came to agree, just one day later, that they were false.'
