Illinois Central College

Not too far removed from their fellow 2025 inductees from the 1987 Softball team, the 1989 Cougar Softball team made another run at it just two years later. 

The 1989 Cougars, making their first National Tournament appearance since the aforementioned 1987 team, would once again make it all the way to the NJCAA Division-I Championship Game, finishing as National Runners-Up. 

For their national-level season, the 1989 Softball Team are members of the 2025 Illinois Central College Athletics Hall of Fame.
