The Brodhead softball squad had an impressive regular season, going 16-2 overall.  The record was good enough for a second-place finish in the Rock Valley Conference, with an undefeated Jefferson squad leading the pack.

The RVC featured some of the best competition in Wisconsin high school softball as Jefferson was the No. 1 ranked team in Division 2 play, while the Cards finished ranked as the No. 6 team in Division 3.

The Jefferson Eagles were the only team to beat Brodhead in the regular season, taking both games by scores of 6-0 and 4-2. The 6-0 shutout was Brodhead’s first game of the season and the 4-2 loss was the last, as their regular season started and ended with matchups against the Eagles.
