The stars of 2025-26 Angleton Softball
The transition comes after a strong 2025 campaign in which the Ladycats went 21–5, claimed their second straight district title, and powered their way to the Region III Final of the 5A Division I bracket before falling to Barbers Hill. Much of that momentum returns in the circle.

Junior right-hander Bella Nava – a Miami (Ohio) commit – anchors the staff after a dominant sophomore season that saw her post a 9–2 record, a pristine 0.98 ERA, and 114 strikeouts en route to All–Southern Brazoria County Pitcher of the Year and first-team all-district recognition.

Senior 3B Emerson Lechler remains the program’s greatest asset; the Baylor signee is coming off a monstrous performance that saw her bat for .625 with 12 home runs. While Lechler powers the offense, the pitching staff will pay significant dividends.

Rounding out the lineup are first-team seniors Hailey Westmoreland (Blinn) and Julie Jacoby, along with second-team honorees Ariyana Hernandez and Scout Welker. Together with standout Sienna Shotts and catcher Avery Jones, they comprise one of the deepest rosters in Texas.
