Between the multiple weekly conference honors and bringing another conference championship back to Tempe, 2026 will go down as one of the most successful in Sun Devil Softball history.
Including wins over Northwestern, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, Arizona, UNC, UCF, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Texas, the Sun Devils posted a 45-18 record, the most wins by an ASU squad since the 2018 team won 48.

After the Sun Devils swept through the NCAA Bryan-College Station Regional and upset the No. 15 overall seed Texas A&M Aggies, ASU made its 11th all-time appearance - and first since 2022 - in an NCAA Super Regional. The four NCAA Tournament wins for head coach Megan Bartlett, who became just the third head coach in program history to win a conference championship, were tied for the second most by an ASU head coach during a single postseason since 2014, one shy of tying the top spot over the same span.

Zeke Jones /// Season 12
Named Head Coach April 2014
5-11 Dual Record /// 3rd at Big 12 Championship /// 13th at NCAA Championship
The 2026 season for head coach Zeke Jones and Sun Devil Wrestling featured key contributions from a plethora of newcomers, including the highly anticipated debuts of freshman Kyler and Kaleb Larkin. Redshirt sophomore Nicco Ruiz and graduate transfer David Szuba were headliners to a much-improved season that featured a slew of successes in a tournament setting.
After starting the season unranked, Arizona State climbed the charts and finished as the No. 12 team nationally.
Ruiz and Szuba led the way at the NCAA Championships, where each wrestler earned All-American status in their respective weight classes. Ruiz took home fourth place in the 165-lb. division, the highest finish by a Sun Devil 165-pounder since Steve Blackford took third in 2000, while Szuba became the seventh-straight Sun Devil heavyweight to earn All-American honors after placing seventh overall.
Additionally, graduate transfer No. 29 seeded Colton Hawks (197-lb.) made tournament history, becoming the lowest seed to advance to the championship quarterfinals since the full 33-wrestler field was seeded in 2019 after upsets of ACC champion No. 4 seed Sonny Styles (Virginia Tech) and No. 13 seed Bennett Berge (SDSU).
ASU placed third at the Big 12 Championship with 94 points - an improvement of 51 points and eight spots compared to 2025, where Ruiz was joined by 157-pounder Kaleb Larkin as the first Sun Devils in program history to win individual Big 12 titles since joining the conference in 2024. Kyler Larkin placed as the runner-up in the 133-lb. bracket, while Szuba took third in the heavyweight division.
The dual season was highlighted by a massive second-half improvement, going 4-2 in the team’s last six duals that included upsets of No. 22 Cornell, No. 22 Oregon State and No. 22 Lehigh. Kyler Larkin turned in a perfect dual record of 9-0 at the 133-lb. mark, as older brother Kaleb went 7-0 in Big 12 matchups.
