History


Despite finishing in the top three of the Northeast Conference standings 10 times, the Hawks only managed to win the NEC regular season title once and failed win the conference tournament. After moving to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in 2014, Monmouth found significantly more success by winning the MAAC regular season title three times, doing so in 2018, 2019, and 2021, and winning the conference tournament twice in 2018 and 2019.
The Hawks qualified for the 2018 NCAA Division I softball tournament, the Hawks first ever appearance in the tournament. In their first game of the tournament, they were defeated by Tennessee by a score of 9–0, losing via mercy rule in five innings. They were eliminated from the tournament by Ohio by a score of 4–0, failing to score a run in either game of their first NCAA tournament. Monmouth qualified for their second consecutive NCAA tournament in 2019. They again failed to score a single run in the tournament, losing initially to LSU 2–0 and were eliminated from the tournament by Louisiana Tech by a score of 1–0. The Hawks won their final regular season title in the MAAC in the 2021 season.
Monmouth officially joined the Coastal Athletic Association on July 1, 2022, after spending the last nine seasons in the MAAC.
