This weekend was one to remember for the Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) softball program, as the Saints celebrated their rich history and recent success with a Hall of Fame ceremony, alumni game, and conference championship ring presentation.
On Saturday, the Saints welcomed back former players, fans, and families for a special day that began with an alumni game and was highlighted by the induction of five standout individuals into the OLLU Softball Hall of Fame. Jennifer Estrada, Joanna Gonzalez, Madison Nunn, Ariel Montgomery, and Kayla Dreese were honored for their incredible contributions to the program. Each of them left a lasting impact on OLLU softball, and their legacy was solidified as they received a banner in their honor to be displayed at the Saints softball field.
Sunday’s celebration continued with the conference championship ring ceremony. The Saints squad was recognized for their remarkable 2025 season, where under the leadership of Head Coach Bruce Lennington and Assistant Coach Jody Armijo, they posted a 47-9 regular season record. Dominating the Red River Athletic Conference with a near-perfect 27-1 mark, the Saints powered through tough matchups, dramatic extra-inning battles, and even weather delays to emerge as champions.
Their postseason run was just as impressive. The Saints went undefeated in the conference tournament, capping it off with a 3-0 victory over LSU-A to claim the title. The ring ceremony was a well-deserved moment of recognition for a team that showcased heart, resilience, and championship-caliber play all season long.
With the past and present of OLLU softball coming together in one unforgettable weekend, the program’s legacy continues to grow. Built on excellence, tradition, and a relentless pursuit of greatness.
