PSU 2026 Softball thread

[Tom McAndrew]

It appears I missed the release of the schedule (in November), which is the event that usually causes me to create the next season thread.

Please use this thread to discuss the PSU Softball 2026 pre-season, in-season, postseason (B1Gs & NCAAs), and then offseason news about the team, former players, etc.

We had a nice discussion about PSU softball in the 2025 Softball thread. If you're seeking anything that was posted in that thread, you can find it at:
