The players

Meylan

The Cowgirls' staff ace with All-America-level talent, Meylan had her best statistical season in 2025 with a 1.81 ERA, a 21-10 record and three saves with 238 strikeouts over 209 innings.

Crandall

Battled injuries much of last season, finishing with a 4.55 ERA over 64 ⅔ innings pitched, but became a key piece of the rotation late in the year and should be in line for better numbers and a bigger innings load in her senior year.

Hoffman

The left-hander provides a different look for opposing hitters, which could be a valuable mixture in the pitching rotation after redshirting the 2025 season due to a torn ACL.

Hasler

Was the most consistent power hitter in the lineup during Big 12 play last season, finishing with a .313 batting average and 16 home runs, and will be asked to be a productive piece in the middle of the order once again.

Davis

Improved across the board offensively last year, leading the team with a .369 batting average, a .469 on-base percentage, 22 extra-base hits and 53 RBIs, and will move from second base to third base this season.
