Phoenix College Softball Program Honored with Hall of Fame Induction

This past weekend, the Arizona Softball Foundation (ASF) celebrated the Phoenix College Bears' remarkable achievements by awarding them the Softball Excellence Award at their annual banquet. The Bears, with a storied history of 10 NJCAA Championships from 2004 to 2022, were recognized for their excellence both on the field and in academics. Coach Heinz Mueller, who has led the team since 1990 and was recently inducted into the NFCA Hall of Fame, expressed his gratitude to the Phoenix College community and staff. He highlighted the team's impressive academic performance, including a combined 3.49 GPA and the graduation of seven players this May.

The induction ceremony took place on August 10th at the Doubletree Inn at Metro Center, marking Phoenix College as the only college program in Arizona to be honored by the ASF Hall of Fame. Coach Mueller remarked, "It is truly an honor that our Phoenix College Softball Program is being inducted into the Arizona Softball Hall of Fame. On behalf of our current and over 375 alumni players and staff, congrats to all for achieving such an honor. I could not be more prouder."
