Dear softball,  When I first put my cleats on I never would have thought you would have this much to give me. The long days and hours out in the sun gave me memories and moments that I will reminisce in for as long as I live. I cannot even explain how grateful I am for the people that you brought into my life.]]>Ashley in outfieldThu, 21 May 2026 15:12:00 CST46199https://twuathletics.com/news/2026/5/21/softball-a-letter-to-softball-by-riley-todd.aspxhttps://twuathletics.com/news/2026/5/21/softball-a-letter-to-softball-by-riley-todd.aspxSoftball

Dear Softball, You have been my easiest hello and the hardest goodbye. From the very beginning, you became so much more than just a sport to me  you became a piece of who I am. You filled my life with unforgettable memories, endless laughter, hard lessons,  victories, heartbreaking losses, and a kind of joy that words could never fully capture.]]>Riley running baseThu, 21 May 2026 13:01:00 CST46197https://twuathletics.com/news/2026/5/18/a-letter-to-stunt-by-brooke-speights.aspxhttps://twuathletics.com/news/2026/5/18/a-letter-to-stunt-by-brooke-speights.aspxSTUNT

Dear STUNT, Saying goodbye to you is harder than I ever thought it would be. Ever since I was a little 7-year-old girl stepping onto a cheer mat for the first time, I dreamed of one day continuing into college. I prayed God would open that door for me someday, but I never could have imagined the journey He had planned for me through you.]]>Brooke Speights finalMon, 18 May 2026 14:26:00 CST96196https://twuathletics.com/news/2026/5/18/softball-crawford-named-d2cca-south-central-region-pitcher-of-the-year.aspxhttps://twuathletics.com/news/2026/5/18/softball-crawford-named-d2cca-south-central-region-pitcher-of-the-year.aspxSoftball
