James Madison announced on Monday morning a decision on the remainder of the 2022 collegiate softball season.
The Dukes announced on Monday morning that the remainder of the season has been canceled following the death of Lauren Bernett.
Bernett died by suicide on April 25.
“This was an extremely difficult decision and one that was not made lightly,” JMU head coach Loren LaPorte said. “We are so grateful for the support of our fans all season and for the love from the softball community during the past week. We will use this time to continue healing and to honor Lauren’s memory while finishing the academic semester strong. Most importantly, we’re thinking about our graduating seniors whose careers have come to an abrupt conclusion. We will make sure that they are honored for the commitment and dedication they have made as student-athletes at James Madison University.”
