^ Total does not include 2014 NSAA/Frontier Tournament Championship when they were a member of the Frontier Conference .
^ Dickinson State and Great Falls were members of the Frontier Conference , which does not sponsor softball, in 2014. The NSAA tournament, known that year as the NSAA/Frontier Tournament, included Dickinson State and Great Falls. Regular-season games against those two clubs in 2014, are not counted as conference games and are excluded from the teams' regular-season records, since they were not NSAA members. However, 2014 conference tournament games involving either Dickinson State or Great Falls are included as tournament wins and losses, since both teams were tournament participants that year.
^ Great Falls was never a member of the NSAA, but played in the 2014 NSAA/Frontier Tournament, since the Frontier does not sponsor softball. Their record in that tournament is included here.
^ University of Great Falls was renamed University of Providence in 2017-18.
^ Dickinson State won the 2014 NSAA/Frontier Tournament as a member of the Frontier Conference . Dakota State finished the best out of all NSAA teams in the 2014 tournament as they finished third.
