Lehmann Named Second-Team NAIA All-American
KANSAS CITY – The NAIA announced its All-Americans for Softball earlier this week, and Livie Lehmann was honored as a Second-Team NAIA All-American.
Lehmann is the fifth softball athlete to earn NAIA All-American Honors for Taylor, after her teammate Kaylee Larkin, earned the distinction a year ago. Lauren Ehle, Alex Lovelace, and Davis Carter were also named NAIA All-Americans during their time on the Taylor softball team.
The junior infielder earned the nod for the first time in her historic collegiate career at Taylor. A two-time First-Team All-Crossroads League award winner has moved up as she stepped up her game during the 2025 season.
Lehmann had her third season with 20 or more doubles as a junior, while no one else in program history has hit that mark. The Kenosha, Wisconsin native has rocketed 63 doubles in three seasons, nine more than anyone else in program history. The infielder’s power grew as she hit a career-best 13 home runs and drove in a program-record 65 runs.
The righty put up video game numbers at the plate, with a .761 slugging percentage, .387 batting average, and .449 on-base percentage. Lehmann ranked in the top twelve in the NAIA in doubles, home runs, extra-base hits, and RBI despite playing fewer games than the majority of players in that group.
The junior began the year on a 15-game hitting streak and reached base in all but six contests throughout an impressive campaign at the plate.
Taylor has now received 29 NAIA All-American honors throughout the 2024-2025 year.
