CANYON, Texas — At the annual pre-championship banquet for the Lone Star Conference Softball tournament, four St. Mary's University Softball student-athletes were announced as members of the All-Conference teams.
 
Madeline Bloom was voted to the Second Team in a vote by the league's head coaches, while Emily Ayala, Gabriela Banda and Lauren Gonzales were all named to the Third Team.
 
Bloom, a senior pitcher from Poway, Calif., went 10-7 in the circle with a 2.40 ERA and 11 complete games with three shutouts. She pitched over 30 percent of the team's innings in 2025, working 111. Two of her 10 victories came against top-three-ranked teams, as she defeated UT Tyler twice, throwing a complete game shutout in the first win when the Patriots were ranked No. 1.
 
Ayala, a junior from San Antonio, was Bloom's counterpoint in the circle for the majority of the season. She was 8-6 with a 3.02 ERA, throwing four complete games and one complete-game shutout. On offense, Ayala hit .333 for the year with seven doubles and six home runs, walking 14 times and was hit by a pitch five times. She led the team with four sacrifice flies and scored 13 runs.
 
Banda, a sophomore second baseman from San Antonio, started in 54 of the team's 55 games, hitting .335 for the year. She led the team with 15 doubles, adding one triple and six home runs. She tied for the team lead with 27 walks, striking out only 14 times in 167 at bats. Banda also led the Lone Star Conference with 132 assists, ranking among the top 20 in the nation all season. 
 
Gonzales, a fifth-year senior from San Antonio, led the team with a .357 batting average. She started all 54 games in which she played, stealing a team-best 16 bases. She scored a team-high 43 runs and led the club with 66 hits – all singles. The left fielder also led the team with seven sacrifice bunts.
 
The Rattlers ended their season with a 26-29 overall record and were 21-23 in Lone Star Conference play.
