The 2003 and 2006 softball teams won regional titles before advancing to their NCAA Division II Softball National Championship. A 13-inning win in the 2003 South Atlantic Regional over Armstrong State University propelled the Bobcats to Salem, Oregon, when they lost to University of California, Davis in the national championship game. A thrilling 16-inning victory over Lenoir-Rhyne University in the 2006 Southeast Regional sent GCSU to Salem, Virginia, for the national tournament where they advanced to the third round.

The Bobcats earned berths to the NCAA baseball tournament in 2000, 2001 and 2002. The 2000 team advanced to the South Atlantic Regional final, before falling to the University of North Florida.
