The Louisiana Christian University athletic department announced the addition of two new Hall of Famers, naming former softball pitcher Savannah Settle-Davis and former women’s basketball head coach Jason Tinsley as the 2026 inductees.
Settle-Davis is an assistant coach with the Little Cypress-Mauriceville softball team.
Settle-Davis was a part of the Wildcat softball team from 2015 to 2018. During that time, she amassed a 56-32 record with three saves and a 2.25 ERA over 609 innings pitched in 105 appearances, starting 91 contests. Her innings pitched, appearances, and starts are still the most among all LCU softball pitchers. During her time, she had 70 complete games, 21 of which were shutouts, and three no-hitters, one being a perfect game which came against Mary Hardin- Baylor on March 31, 2017. During her time in orange and blue, Settle-Davis struck out 498 batters and opposing hitters hit .205 off her. She was a five-time American Southwest Conference Pitcher of the Week and was named First Team All-ASC all four years she was in Pineville.
“I realize now just how much those four years shaped the person I am today,” said Settle-Davis. “At the time, I was focused on being the best player I could be and making the most of every opportunity, but I didn’t fully understand how much those years, the people, and the experiences would stay with me long after I graduated.”
“I was also fortunate to have coaches who believed in me and supported me throughout my time at LCU,” continued Settle-Davis. “They challenged me, pushed me to be better, and taught me lessons that went far beyond softball.”
And lastly, she said, “[Being inducted into the LCU Hall of Fame] is an incredible honor, but what means the most to me is knowing my time at LCU continues to have an impact.”
