Hall of Fame
Kelsey Randall's arrival in Ashland marked a significant turning point for the SOU softball team, which she helped place on a powerhouse trajectory while starting at shortstop and batting leadoff for all 239 games in her career. Among all players in NAIA history she ranks first in triples (31), seventh in hits (336) and ninth in runs scored (235), and she remains the Cascade Conference record-holder for hits, triples and stolen bases (152). She was named to the NAIA All-America second team as a freshman, received honorable mention twice, made the All-CCC first team all four years, and was a two-time Academic All-America selection. The .403 lifetime hitter was even better with the glove, earning four CCC Gold Glove awards. After the Raiders averaged 19 wins in the four years prior to her arrival, they averaged 42 during her stay and made their first two NAIA World Series appearances. While acting as a catalyst for that turnaround, Randall was also a four-year starting midfielder/forward for the SOU women's soccer team, which celebrated its first CCC title when she was a junior. She received All-CCC honorable mention that season and landed on the first team as a senior in 2017, wrapping her career with 14 goals and six assists.
