College of San Mateo’s softball team concluded another historic season this weekend with a semifinal appearance at the 2026 3C2A Softball State Championship tournament, capping off one of the most dominant years in California community college softball.

On a quest to repeat as state softball champions, the College of San Mateo Bulldogs were in fine form. CSM (41-1) came out swinging, scoring in each of the first three innings to claim a 6-2 win over Saddleback College in the California Community College Athletic Association (3C2A) Softball Championship Tournament opener Thursday at Bakersfield College.

Smashing three more home runs for a school-record season total of 83, the College of San Mateo softball team completed a super regional sweep of visiting Feather River, 8-4, on Saturday and will take a two-year, 12-game, postseason winning streak to Bakersfield to begin final defense of its California Community College Athletic Association state softball championship.

Selena Gonzales and Ale Phillips each went 3-for-3 at the plate performances as the College of San Mateo softball team began defense of its 3C2A state championship with a 12-1  mercy-rule win over visiting Lassen College Friday afternoon in a Northern California playoff opener at the College Heights campus.

Another postseason run begins this week for the College of San Mateo softball team as the top-ranked Bulldogs look to go back-to-back and defend their 2025 state title. CSM is the No. 1 seed for the 2026 Northern California Regional Playoffs and the Bulldogs will host No. 16 Lassen College in a best-of-three-game series beginning at 2 p.m. Friday. Game 2 is set for noon Saturday, with a third game, if necessary, to start at 2 p.m.

The missing title has been secured. After compiling unmatched streaks over the past full year, the College of San Mateo softball team has secured the one championship it did not obtain in 2025. Thursday’s 7-2 win over visiting Monterey Peninsula College gave the Bulldogs the outright 2026 Coast Conference championship.

The College of San Mateo Bulldogs got back to doing what they do best — winning. After seeing their 48-game winning streak snapped Tuesday with a 2-1 loss to Hartnell, the Bulldogs (10-1 Coast Conference, 33-1 overall) started another win streak Thursday with a 10-0 victory at San Jose City College (5-6, 12-31-1).

College of San Mateo went over a year without losing a game. But all good things must come to an end. The Bulldogs (9-1 Coast North, 32-1 overall) had their 48-game softball winning streak snapped Tuesday with a 2-1 loss at Hartnell College (7-3, 27-8) in Salinas.

Nia Mapa blasted a two-run homer to give College of San Mateo a 12-4 mercy-rule, softball victory in five innings over rival West Valley College Thursday to all but wrap up another Coast Conference title.
