LUBBOCK, Texas \u2013 The four major polls released their updated rankings yesterday and today as we begin week nine of the 2026 season. The Red Raiders moved to No. 1 in three of the four polls and remained at No. 2 in the other poll.<\/p>\n
D1Softball, ESPN\/USA Softball and the NFCA had Tech back at No. 1 while Softball America had Tech at No. 2 and Alabama at No. 1 after taking two of three against then-No. 1 Texas last weekend.<\/p>\n
The Red Raiders are on the second-longest winning streak in the country currently at 13 games behind Florida State. Texas Tech’s one-two punch of NiJaree Canady<\/a> and Kaitlyn Terry<\/a> has been as good as anyone in the country this season, combining 30 of the team’s 38 wins this season. Terry and Jackie Lis<\/a> have been two of the hottest hitters in the Big 12 over the past few weeks. Lis was named Big 12 Player of the Week last week and Terry rode a 26-game hit streak into last weekend to set a new school record.<\/p>\n Tech will have six games in six days, beginning on Friday against Utah and ending on Wednesday against Texas State all on the road.
