My daughter is considering engineering and is hopeful about playing softball. At an excellent engineering DIII school, she was told by admissions that it absolutely was doable and that the varsity coaches of all sports there understand that academics come first. Its hard to tell if this was a sales job or if it was true. But I did look at the roster of the softball team at this school and several women were engineer majors. This team also won their league championship.

A friend’s son is a rising freshman and plans on balancing football and electrical engineering at a DII school.

My guess is that if you are interested in DIII, you will be okay. DII will be more difficult and DI possible but very difficult.

Best wishes to you.
