One of the most groundbreaking teams in school history, the 1981 Southern Utah State College softball team finished with a 31-8 record and won both the RMAC Championship and titles at the Dixie College and UNLV Invitationals. Their postseason run led to the program's first-ever appearance in the NAIA National Championship Tournament, where they placed 5th nationally. Coached by Bruce Osborne, the team featured standout performances across the board, including All-RMAC and All-Tournament honors.
