Kavan holds a record of 21-4 on the season and a 2.24 ERA. pairing alongside her 183 strikeouts, which places her in the top 15 for the statistic across the country. Kavan's ability to rake in strikeouts has allowed her to become the first Texas pitcher under head coach Mike White to strikeout 100-or-more batters in multiple seasons.

She has had special outings throughout the 2025 season. Back in February, she pitched an extra-inning victory where she amassed 18 strikeouts on the night. And in the Longhorn series against Missouri, Kavan pitched her first career no-hitter in the Longhorns' 8-0 run-rule victory.

Mia Scott Infielder

She currently stands with a .443 batting average, the best mark of her career, and is just six RBI shy of passing her season high.
