The defending NAIA national champion Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) softball team faced a rollercoaster of emotions in the NAIA Opening Round on Wednesday.

When the Our Lady of the Lake University softball team started the 2024-2025 season, they knew there were big shoes to fill after seeing over 10 players leave due to graduation or transferring to other programs.

Our Lady of the Lake University’s volleyball program will play in the NAIA national tournament for the first time since the 2020 season.

The nation’s top ranked OLLU softball team (53-3) is headed back to the NAIA World Series.
