UNI softball has added four players to its 2028 roster: Illinois twins Sophia and Sydney Feld, Wisconsin pitcher/outfielder Addison Quackenboss, and Iowa pitcher/first baseman Makenna Pitlick. The recruits bring experience across multiple positions, strong high school results and, in several cases, academic honors.

By the Numbers
  • Quackenboss struck out 222 batters in 125.2 innings, with a 1.5 ERA and 0.96 WHIP last season.
  • Pitlick went 14-0 with a 0.61 ERA and 161 strikeouts in 92.1 innings in 2026.
  • The Feld twins helped win the 2025 Illinois state championship and reach the 2026 state final.
Bottom Line

UNI’s incoming class pairs proven production in the circle with versatile position players, giving the Panthers a foundation of talent and depth for 2028.
