Softball receives first national ranking of the season

After a 12-3 start to the season, the softball team is ranked at No. 23 in the NCAA Top 25 Division I softball rankings.

The Shockers made history in 2021 after being ranked in the top 25 of all four major national polls for the first time in school history.

This is the first national ranking the Shockers have received this season. The ranking comes after the program went undefeated at the North Texas Invitational. They beat North Texas 8-6 and 5-3 and Northwestern State 7-1 and 5-2.

Since the season started, a couple of players have been named American Athletic Conference Player of the Week, including outfielder Lauren Lucas and shortstop Sydney McKinney.
