2026 Season Review

The 2026 Roncalli softball team put together another outstanding season, finishing 20-6 and accomplishing two of its biggest goals: reaching the 20-win mark and bringing home the conference championship. The Royals proved they could compete with anyone, earning impressive regular-season victories over Avon, Carmel, Franklin Central, New Palestine, Plainfield and Westfield. While the postseason didn’t end the way they had hoped, it doesn’t take away from what this group accomplished throughout the year.

The Royals were recognized with plenty of postseason honors. Seniors Elise Baker, Kayla Brewer and Bennie Leffler, along with junior Morgan Curtis, earned All-Marion County and All-Conference recognition. Baker capped off an outstanding career by being named First Team All-State and was selected to represent the South in the SCAI All-Star Game. Leffler also earned All-State honors, being named 3rd Team All-State by SCAI.

End-of-season Roncalli awards went to the following Royals: 

Team MVP: Morgan Curtis

Defensive MVP: Junior Maggie Thorne

Offensive MVP and Leadership Award: Elise Baker

Mental Attitude Award: Bennie Leffler

Sportsmanship Award: Senior Sarah Hofmann
