Four members of the Brandeis softball team were named to the All-Tournament team at the Ithaca Regional of the 2019 NCAA Division III Softball Tournament. They were:
- Sophomore center fielder Melissa Rothenberg (Lawrenceville, N.J./Lawrence), who went 4-10 with two RBI, two runs scored, two doubles and a home run, giving the Judges a key insurance run in their second win of the tournament.
- Senior left fielder Marissa DeLaurentis (Centreach, N.Y./St. John the Baptist Diocesan), who went 3-7 with a run scored in two games after missing the tournament opener;
- Rookie outfielder Amidori Anderson (Sparks, Nev./Spanish Springs), who hit safely in all three contests, going 3-8 with three RBI, two runs scored, a double and a stolen base;
- And rookie pitcher Sydney Goldman (Sherman Oaks, Calif./Notre Dame), who did not allow a run in 8.1 innings, striking out seven and walking just one. She blanked Penn State Berks in an elimination game that the Judges won, 2-0.
Brandeis went 2-1 in the tournament, falling to Penn St. Berks, 5-3, in the opener, but defeating Farmingdale State, 8-0, and PSU-Berks, 2-0, in elimination games. The Judges were unable to take on host Ithaca, as weather cancelled two straight days of games, giving the Bombers the regional title as the lone unbeaten team.
