2026 Softball Seniors

Eagles Softball Preview

Softball enters the 2026 season under the leadership of new head coach Erin Skinner. They look to grow as a program and to battle in a tough 2026 slate.

“We’re excited to begin the season and see the work we’ve put in come to life," said Skinner. "Our returners have taken ownership of the culture, and our newcomers have blended in seamlessly as our coaching staff works to establish a clear vision and identity for the program. I’m looking forward to watching this group grow together and shape who we are and how we compete.”
