By claiming the 2007 MAAC championship, the softball program earned its ninth NCAA Tournament berth in the last 14 years, which stands as the most for any team at Canisius. The Griffs’ 2007 postseason saw the Blue and Gold travel to the Columbus, Ohio Regional, where the team played No. 13 Virginia Tech and eventual regional champion Cal State Fullerton. Rappl is the only softball coach in the history of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference to reach the 600-career win plateau, a feat he accomplished March 3, 2006, when the Griffs beat Memphis 2-0.

Canisius lost to top-ranked Arizona in the first game before coming back to drop Rutgers in an elimination contest. The Blue and Gold saw their season come to an end after falling to Texas A&M. Rappl’s 1993 squad set a then-NCAA record by winning 35-straight games, en route to a 36-3 record and the best single-season winning percentage (.923) in school history. From 1986-1993, Rappl coached the Canisius women’s basketball team to a 93-94 (.497) record and served as the World University Games Venue chair for women’s basketball in 1993.
