Oregon Tech and Southern Oregon University both landed multiple NFCA regional softball honors following the 2026 season. Four Owls earned All-Region IV recognition, while SOU’s coaching staff was named Region III Staff of the Year and four Raiders were named all-region.

Southern Oregon’s national title defense came to an end Monday at the NAIA Softball World Series in Columbus, Georgia. The No. 3-seeded Raiders lost 5-2 to Southeastern and 3-1 to Indiana Wesleyan, ending a 45-15 season and a 16-game winning streak.

Southern Oregon opened its NAIA Softball World Series run with a 4-2 win over Cumberlands, extending the Raiders’ winning streak to 16 games. Severe weather in Columbus, Georgia, has since pushed SOU’s next game to Sunday against Southeastern or College of Idaho.
