The transfer portal for softball opened May 18 and will remain open until June 16, providing a window for players to enter the portal during this time period. Liberty softball has been very active in the portal in recent years and are expected to be once again as head coach Dot Richardson and the Lady Flames look to build off the program’s first ever Super Regional appearance.
This page will track which Liberty players enter the transfer portal and which players in the portal decide to transfer to the Flames. It will be updated for each addition to either category.
