Salisbury University
In honor of the late Coach Margie Knight, the No. 13 Salisbury University softball program is proud to play host to the second annual Margie Knight Classic softball tournament. While partnering with Wicomico County tourism, all games this year will be held at Henry S. Parker Athletic Complex in collaboration with the Maryland Sports Commission.
Margie was the ultimate Sea Gull, leading student-athletes for 25 seasons as the head coach of Salisbury softball – finishing her legendary career with an 846-209-2 record, good for 13th all time for NCAA softball coaches and sixth in Division III. By leading her teams to 18 Capital Athletic Conference championships and 21 NCAA tournament appearances, including nine NCAA World Series appearances, she was named Regional Coach of the Year 10 times and inducted into the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2018.
A total of 18 games are set to be played on three different fields between March 15-16. Game slots are 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The Sea Gulls will begin the weekend at 11 a.m. on Saturday, taking on MIT before battling NYU at 1 p.m. On Sunday, Salisbury battles TCNJ at 1 p.m. before a ranked showdown with No. 6 Tufts at 3 p.m.
