JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Lincoln head softball coach Jason Ollison, head women's basketball coach Addae Houston and head women's soccer coach Leah Stringer were named "Missouri's Best" at their respective positions in the 2026-27 edition of Missouri's Best Magazine.

This is the fifth-straight year that Ollison has been named "Missouri's Best" college softball coach. Ollison, now in his fifth season leading the Lincoln softball program, led the Blue Tigers to a program-record 23 victories last year. The Blue Tigers broke a number of team and individual records during that season, and Ann-Marie Simpson and Gracie Wright each earned All-GLVC honors.

Houston, entering his third season leading the LU women's basketball program, last year helped the team more than double its overall victory total and its number of GLVC wins from 2024-25. This is the first year he has claimed the title of "Missouri's Best."

Stringer, the first-ever women's soccer coach at Lincoln, led the Blue Tigers to a 1-0 victory over Minnesota Crookston in the first match in program history. Last season, she coached Ivanna Faria to All-GLVC recognition. This is the third-straight year Stringer has been selected as "Missouri's Best".
