July 08, 2026 | Softball
SEATTLE – The Huskies have been competing in leagues and tournaments all over the country this summer, dominating from coast to coast.
Part way through the summer ball season, four Huskies have been named to play in their league's All-Star games.
Ava Carroll
Ava Carroll has been a force to reckon with this summer, playing her second season with the Madison Night Mares of the Northwoods League.
Recently named the Night Mares' Player of the First Half, Carroll has a league second-best .493 average with seven home runs and a league-high 34 RBI. Carroll also leads the league in walks (18) and holds the third highest on-base percentage (.579).
22 games into the 2026 season, Madison is on top of the standings with a 21-1 record, going 9-1 in the last 10 outings.
Carroll is also set to compete in the Northwoods League's inaugural home run challenge.
"Being an All-Star means so much to me," Carroll said. "I get to not only represent the Night Mares but also Husky Softball. I get to show thousands of people what Husky Softball is all about and represent the hard work and dedication that makes our program so special."
Ryan Maddox
Alongside Carroll in the circle for the Night Mares is Ryan Maddox, who holds a 5-0 record in 36.1 innings this summer.
The lefty has a 3.66 ERA through nine games for Madison, tallying 40 strikeouts and a 1.35 WHIP as she's helped lead her team to a league-best 21-1 record.
Most recently in a game against the Minot Honeybees on July 4, Maddox recorded a season-high 11 strikeouts.
She has tallied 4+ strikeouts in five appearances this season.
"I'm thankful for the opportunity and excited to represent Husky Softball," Maddox said. "I'm looking forward to competing alongside some of the best players in the league."
Marley Teasley
In her first season with the Wausau Ignite, Marley Teasley is batting .342 with 20 RBI (second highest on the team) and 11 walks in 21 games.
Teasley was named the Player of the Game on June 25 after recording a home run, two RBI and two hits against the Night Mares.
The Oklahoma native will also compete in the Northwoods League home run challenge.
"I'm super grateful to have been picked to play in the All-Star game," Teasley said. "There are so many talented young women in this league, so for me to be picked just makes me feel lots of gratitude."
Ally Hetzel
In her first season with the Grand Forks Spitfires, Hetzel is batting a blistering .452 (10th-best in the league) with a homer and 10 RBI.
The Spitfires are tied for second in the league with Teasley's Ignite, each with a 10-11 record.
Hetzel's recorded 19 hits on the season in Grand Forks as well as a team-high five hit by pitches and seven walks.
"Being named a part of the All-Star is an incredible honor," Hetzel said. "I'm grateful to represent the University of Washington and the Grand Forks community, and I'm thankful for everyone who has supported me."
