The Saints won the NAIA Opening Round - San Antonio Bracket tournament earlier this month to advance to the 2024 NAIA Softball World Series - only the second time in history. So far, the women have won two games - vs. Madonna and vs. Oregon Tech - with identical scores of 3-0. Pitcher Cassandra Valdez and the Saints have not allowed a single run in the NAIA postseason.
The program is a source of great pride for alumni, parents and families, students, staff and faculty, and our Board of Trustees. The City of San Antonio hosted the team on May 9 and received a Point of Recognition from Mayor Ron Nirenberg and City Council members. With your continued support, the OLLU Softball Team will be able to sustain its tradition of excellence as it strives to win the first national championship in OLLU history.
