Softball Repeats as Westerm New England Champions

The Kingswood Oxford Varsity Softball team made history this spring, winning back-to-back Western New England Championships after a dramatic postseason run that showcased power, poise, and perseverance.

With their season on the line, KO defeated Suffield on the final day of the regular season to punch their ticket to the playoffs. From there, the Wyverns took down St. Luke’s 3–1 in the semifinals before getting revenge on Choate Rosemary Hall—who handed them a loss earlier in the season—with a commanding 9–5 win in the championship game.

The team finished with an impressive 11–3 record and brought firepower to every game, launching 22 home runs on the season from five different players. Their offense was explosive, but the defense and pitching were equally dominant.

Sophomore ace Alexis Nisyrios continued to carve her name into the record books, recording her 445th career strikeout during the playoff run. The team combined for four shutouts on the year, helping KO stay sharp in tight games and control momentum throughout the postseason.

Senior leader Olivia Gallup played a vital role in the team’s success, providing steady leadership and helping guide the team through challenging moments with confidence and composure.

From clutch wins to record-breaking performances, KO Softball’s 2025 season was one defined by resilience and championship spirit. With back-to-back titles now secured, the Wyverns have solidified their place as one of the region’s premier programs.
