College of the Canyons softball will be playing in the postseason for a 12th consecutive season after earning the No. 14 seed in the 2025 3C2A Southern California Regional Playoffs.

No. 14 Canyons (20-20, 7-5) will travel to face No. 3 Palomar College (36-3, 15-0) in a best-of-three series beginning Friday, May 2. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.  

Game 2 is scheduled for noon Saturday, May 3. If necessary, a third game would take place at approximately 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Canyons finished the regular season fourth in the Western State Conference (WSC), South Division standings behind conference champions Citrus College (24-16, 10-2), Bakersfield College (21-19, 9-3) and Antelope Valley College (27-9, 8-4). The Cougars dropped their final three games down the stretch with two of those losses coming in a doubleheader at Palomar on April 19.

Palomar was the state's No. 1 ranked team according to the 3CFCA statewide coaches poll released on April 22. Despite that, the Comets enter the SoCal Regional playoffs as the No. 3 seed. Palomar won the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) championship and later saw sophomore Breanna Lutz earn 3CFCA South Player of the Year honors.
