The 2011 Alabama Crimson Tide softball team is an American softball team, representing the University of Alabama for the 2011 NCAA softball season. The Crimson Tide plays its home games at Rhoads Stadium. The 2011 made the postseason for the 13th straight year, and the Women's College World Series for seventh time after failing to make it in 2010. This season represents the 15th season of softball in the school's history. The Crimson Tide won the SEC Regular Season by defeating the Ole Miss Rebels 10-1.
While the Tide loses two-time SEC Player of the Year Charlotte Morgan along with 2010 senior leaders Alex Blewitt and Jessica Smith, Alabama returns nine starters from a team that won the Southeastern Conference regular season and tournament championships en route to claiming the number one overall seed in the NCAA Division I tournament. The Crimson Tide softball team only has two seniors this season, Kelsi Dunne and Whitney Larsen. In the annual Southeastern Conference coaches preseason poll, the Crimson Tide was picked to win the 2011 SEC Softball title.[1] The Crimson Tide also landed three players on the Preseason All-SEC team; Kelsi Dunne, Whitney Larsen, and Kayla Braud.
