MORAGA, Calif. — Entering the 2025 season, the Saint Mary's Gaels were riding momentum coming off of one of their most successful campaigns in program history in 2024. With only one starter departing from that squad, there was much excitement for the 2025 squad, and they lived up to that excitement, winning back-to-back WCC Titles for the first time in program history. Entering this year, Saint Mary's Softball had never had back-to-back winning seasons, let alone back-to-back conference titles, which they secured this year.
While the success of Coach Sonja Garnett's squad is reflected in their conference title, it was not an easy road to start.
