Elite in the hitter's box and in the pitcher's circle, Spearman was recently named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Central Region First Team, the only player from a non-power conference to earn that recognition. In March, Softball America tabbed Spearman, an El Paso native, as the third best two-way player, and 83rd-best player overall, in Division I.
As a freshman, she was named Conference USA Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year.
A first team CUSA player last season, Spearman was the only player in the league to lead her team in both batting average (.430) and earned-run average (3.54) in 2025. She led CUSA, or was tied for the lead, in home runs (20), walks (55), slugging percentage (.977), on-base percentage (.606) and OPS (1.583). The 55 walks ranked fourth-highest in the nation. As a pitcher, she also led the Aggies in opponent batting average (.221), strikeouts thrown (118) and complete games (eight).
