KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For just the second time in program history, three members from the Saint Xavier University softball team (43-14/26-1 CCAC) were named NAIA All-Americans when the awards were announced by the national office Tuesday morning after the conclusion of the NAIA Softball World Series that saw No. 1 Madonna University (Mich.) win its first national championship. Senior outfielder Fiona Crane (Evergreen Park, Ill./Northern Illinois/Mother McAuley) earned NAIA All-American First Team recognition after an NAIA All-American Second Team nod in 2025. Also claiming NAIA All-American First Team honors was redshirt sophomore infielder Jazmyn Casas (Berwyn, Ill./Illinois-Chicago/Taft). Junior infielder Aubrey Wroble (Crown Point, Ind./Crown Point) was named an NAIA All-American Second Team member, her second consecutive NAIA All-American win after an NAIA All-American Third Team selection a season ago.

The trio joins three SXU Hall of Famers; Sue Daeschler (1989-92), Rochelle Maly (1987-88, 90-91) and Kathy Principato (1988-90), who were all NAIA All-American Honorable Mentions in 1990. Casas and Crane are the seventh and eighth players, respectively, for the Cougars to be named NAIA First Team All-Americans, joining Saint Xavier Hall of Famers Colleen Kilduff (2003-06), who was the NAIA Player of the Year in 2006, and Nicole Nonnemacher (2013-16), the only player in team history to be a four-time First Team All-American, and a three-time NAIA Pitcher of the Year (2014-16). Former standout Allison Golic (2018-21) claimed First Team honors in 2021.
