The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) softball team enters the 2026 season ranked No. 12 in the NAIA Preseason Top 25 Poll, continuing its reputation as one of the nation’s top programs. The Saints are coming off a dominant 47-9 overall record and an impressive 27-1 mark in conference play, capped by another Red River Athletic Conference Championship. Leading the team into a new era is first-year head coach Jody Armijo, who takes over a squad loaded with talent and championship experience. Armijo inherits a program defined by its determination, unity, and relentless pursuit of excellence. After several seasons of national success, the Saints have their sights set high in 2026. Ranked just outside the top ten, OLLU is ready to prove once again that they belong among the NAIA’s elite. With strong leadership and a winning tradition, the Saints are poised to make another deep postseason run.
