Hello! I'm a junior passionate about playing softball and I am considering continuing at the collegiate level. Could anyone suggest some D2 schools with good softball programs in Texas? Thanks in advance!

1. Angelo State University (San Angelo, TX) - The Rambelles have a strong history of success in softball and are regularly among the top teams in the Lone Star Conference.
2. St. Mary's University (San Antonio, TX) - Also competing in the Lone Star Conference, St. Mary's University Rattlers have had a consistent softball program with multiple appearances in the NCAA championships.
3. Texas A&M University-Kingsville (Kingsville, TX) - The Javelina softball team is also part of the Lone Star Conference and has a history of producing competitive teams.
4. Lubbock Christian University (Lubbock, TX) - The LCU Lady Chaps softball program is fast-growing with recent successes in the Lone Star Conference, which they joined in 2019.
5. University of Texas at Tyler (Tyler, TX) - Although they were previously a powerhouse in D3, UT Tyler Patriots moved to Division II in 2019 and currently play in the Lone Star Conference.
