Ohio Northern informed the Division III Softball Committee on Tuesday that it is withdrawing from the Division III Softball Championship due to COVID-19 protocol issues. Ohio Northern was scheduled to play Salisbury on Friday in the East Texas Baptist regional. The game will be considered a no-contest, and Salisbury will advance to the next round and play Saturday against the winner of Friday's game between Birmingham-Southern and Redlands. The committee regrets that Ohio Northern's student-athletes and coaches will not be able to compete in the Division III Softball Championship. Because of privacy issues, no further details will be provided.
