🤙 ONE BIG THING

Signed, Sealed, and the Real Deal. Lake Jackson’s own Taylor Meier is the latest newcomer to fill a roster spot for UTSA softball. Meier will join the team for the 2025 season after spending the last two years at McLennan Community College where she earned NJCAA DI All-American honors. During the 2024 World Series, Meier was named both the Offensive and Defensive Player of the Tournament after hitting .471 at the plate and finished the week with a perfect fielding percentage.

Throughout the season, she hit .497 with 38 RBI, 49 stolen bases, and 58 runs, which pushed her to All-Region and All-NTJCAC honors. Meier broke numerous records in the process, including the single-season stolen base record.
