Ohio State softball now ranked in several national polls
The Ohio State softball team has had a fantastic start to the 2025 campaign. The team currently has an impressive 22-6-1 overall record and just polished off a series win over previously ranked Nebraska. The Buckeyes have won four in a row and have wins over Missouri, UCF, and Georgia. They gave No. 1 Texas all it could handle in a 4-2 loss. The Lady Bucks have one 11 of their past 13 games to put the country on notice.
And now, for all of its effort, Ohio State has now shown up in the rankings as a top 25 team according to several polls. OSU is No. 25 in both the NFCA Coaches and ESPN.com polls, and No. 20 according to D1.softball.com.
Before we celebrate, it should be noted, starred, and highlighted that it is still very early in the Big Ten season and many, many more contests to go against quality competition, but what new head coach Kirin Kumar has done at this point in the season during her first year on the job shows some incredible promise.

After winning two midweek games this week, Ohio State will be back in action this weekend when it travels to East Lansing to take on Big Ten foe, Michigan State. Let's hope the team can keep things rolling and make Buckeye Nation proud.
