COMPLETE INDIVIDUAL RANKINGS

ASHLAND – First-year head coach Katlyn Monroe's Southern Oregon women's wrestling team will make its 2025-26 debut as the No. 9-ranked squad in the NAIA Top 20.

Thursday's preseason poll showed eight individually-ranked Raiders, five of whom were among the top-10 in their weight classes: No. 3 Lillian Gradillas-Flores (180 pounds), No. 5 Kat Hingano (180), No. 5 Jasmine Howard (117), No. 9 Malia Welch (124) and No. 10 Lia Ferreira (103). Gradillas-Flores, Hingano and Howard were All-Americans last season, while Ferreira was a fifth-place national finisher in 2024 before redshirting last season.

No. 14 Kaylee Annis (124), No. 15 Holland Wieber (145), and No. 16 Mackenzie Burger (110) – the only newcomer on the list – rounded out SOU's representation.

The Raiders will follow up on a seventh-place finish at last year's NAIA Championships. They lost a pair of All-Americans from that group, including three-time national champion Carolina Moreno.

The Cascade Conference was also represented by No. 3 Providence (Mont.), No. 16 Evergreen (Wash.) and No. 18 Westcliff (Calif.). Life (Ga.) will open as the NAIA's No. 1 team.

The Raiders start the season Nov. 2 at the Menlo Open.
