Alison Harris brings veteran catcher grit, timely power, and big-game poise for Portland State
In the 2026 season, Alison Harris has been a steady, experienced backstop for Portland State, starting 33 games behind the plate in 2025 and remaining a core part of the Vikings’ catching corps in 2026. Her value goes beyond the box score: she handles a demanding defensive role, has shown clutch offensive flashes like a first career home run and a bases-clearing double in 2025, and is trusted in high-leverage moments. Add in her fifth-year senior leadership and the program’s praise for her balancing elite academics with DI softball, and she looks like a dependable fit for teams wanting toughness, maturity, and competitiveness.
