Southern Oregon University softball wrapped up a standout 2026 season with a No. 5 national ranking, multiple All-America honors, two NAIA Rawlings Gold Gloves, an All-World Series selection and recognition for its sports information team.

Southern Oregon softball is headed back to the NAIA World Series after winning the Ashland Bracket championship, while Oregon Tech will play a winner-take-all game Thursday after falling to Our Lady of the Lake in Klamath Falls. The Raiders will return to Georgia to defend their national title, and the Owls still have a chance to join them.
