- Entering her 15th season as the head coach of the Florida State softball program in 2021, Lonni Alameda has guided the Seminoles back into one of the nation’s best teams. After seven Women’s College World Series appearances from 1987-2004, the Seminoles have returned to the final site of women’s collegiate softball four times in the last seven complete seasons (2014, 2016, 2018 and 2021), including winning the program’s first NCAA National Championship in 2018, a WCWS semifinals appearance in 2016, as well as seven consecutive trips to the NCAA Super Regionals (2013-19). Florida State has earned seven ACC regular season/division titles in a row, six straight ACC Tournament titles and now owns 17 ACC Championships.
- FSU has played in the NCAA postseason every year under Alameda, and is one of only nine schools to participate in the NCAA Tournament in every season since 2000. Since Alameda has made Tallahassee her home, she has led the Seminoles to 11 ACC Championship game appearances in 13 full seasons, with titles in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022.
