Bio
The 1999 SUNY Orange softball team, guided by head coach Stacey Morris (a 2015 inductee into the Colt Athletic Hall of Fame), forged a stellar 34-7 record.
The Colts posted an unblemished 10-0 record to win the Mid-Hudson Conference championship and were a perfect 24-0 against Region XV teams en route to the regional title. The team advanced to the National Junior College Athletic Association national championship tournament, where it finished third.
In recognition of the team’s on-field performance, several players earned postseason accolades. Pitcher Heather Canfield was named Region XV “Player of the Year” and was also selected as a first-team All-American. Canfield was joined on the All-American first team by infielders Francine Smatt while Shannon Schelin was accorded second-team All-American honors. Morris was the Region XV “Coach of the Year.”
