As the collegiate softball season nears, preseason rankings come out. The Missouri Tigers found themselves ranked No. 15 in the ESPN/USA Softball preseason rankings. The Tigers received 270 points in the ranking.

The likes of Taylor Pannell and Cierra Harrison will look to make an impact from a returning side of things, as will highly-touted freshman Madison Uptegrove.

A disappointing end to its 2024 campaign after a Super Regional loss to Duke should leave the Tigers hungry for another deep run in the College World Series. The returning talent is there and Missouri has a 48-18 record to build off of.

The Tigers will open its season on Feb. 7 in Clearwater, Fla at the NFCA Division 1 Leadoff Classic in hopes of starting its season strong.
