History
In May 2023, the Northwoods League announced that they were creating a summer collegiate softball league to begin play in 2024. Explaining the rationale, co-founder Kathy Radatz said “We have seen tremendous growth in interest in women’s softball in recent years, and we are excited to be able to provide a platform for female athletes to continue to hone their skills and compete at a high level during the summer months.” In 2024, Mankato joined with teams in Madison, Wisconsin; La Crosse, Wisconsin; and Minot, North Dakota in the inaugural season of the upstart softball league. The Habaneros finished the season with a record of 31–11, best in the NWLS and meriting the softball circuit's first ever championship. ==Brand==
