Allie Branstetter is giving Saint Louis a power-speed spark in her first college spring
In the 2026 season, freshman utility Allie Branstetter has flashed immediate impact for Saint Louis, earning D1Softball Mid-Major Freshman of the Week and Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week after hitting .500 with a 1.083 slugging percentage, 7 RBIs, 6 runs, 2 steals and four extra-base hits in her first 10 games.[1][4] The standout differentiator is her loud contact and run-producing poise: she showed she can change a game with one swing, and her high-school track record suggests a hitter who brings both intimidation and athletic versatility to the Billikens’ lineup.[1][3]
