Three Wisconsin Badgers softball players have been named to the 2026 Big Ten All-Tournament Team, capping off a remarkable postseason run that saw the team reach the tournament semi-finals against all odds. The honors highlight a season of grit and standout performances for the program.

Senior pitcher Shelby Jacobson, who has been the team's ace all season, earned her spot on the 15-player roster alongside sophomore Hannah Conger and redshirt freshman Jackie Showalter. Both Conger and Showalter made their mark at the plate during the tournament, delivering clutch hits when it mattered most.

The All-Tournament Team was headlined by Nebraska's Jordy Frahm, who was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player after leading the Cornhuskers to the championship. Nebraska placed four players on the team, while powerhouse UCLA led all schools with six selections. Oregon's Stefini Ma'ake and Washington's Sophi Mazzola also earned recognition.

This tournament was historic for the Badgers in more ways than one. Despite a tough loss to UCLA in the semi-finals, Wisconsin's performance has positioned them strongly for an NCAA Tournament berth. With the selection show looming, fans have every reason to be optimistic about what's next for this resilient squad.
