Series Three of the 2026 Athletes Unlimited Softball League All-Star Cup is complete. With just one series remaining, the leaderboard is beginning to take its final form ahead of the competition’s final weekend in Rosemont, Ill.
Members of Baylee Klingler’s Series Three squad earned a major boost during the third week of competition, with several making double-digit jumps up the standings. While Skylar Wallace made the biggest leap of the series, climbing 15 places to No. 20, some of the most meaningful moves came near the top of the leaderboard.

Here are the stars who made their move during Series Three.
Kilfoyl and Flippen Move Into Captain Spots
Lexi Kilfoyl jumped two crucial spots on the leaderboard during Series Three to claim second overall heading into the final week.
The right-handed pitcher now has 866 total points, including 136 stat points and 100 MVP points. She made her move after logging 4 1/3 innings for Team Klingler during Series Three, including four scoreless innings in the circle Sunday night versus Team Palacios. Kilfoyl recorded two strikeouts in the outing and helped Team Klingler secure a 1-0 victory.
The boost gives Kilfoyl solid footing in the top three and a promising chance at a podium finish heading into the final series.
Hannah Flippen may have risen only two places on the leaderboard during Series Three, but those two spots proved crucial. The veteran shortstop moved into third overall and earned a captain spot for the final series of the 2026 All-Star Cup alongside Kilfoyl and repeat captain Klingler.
Flippen collected 260 win points as part of Team Klingler’s Series Three squad and finished the week with a .333 batting average. She now holds 750 total leaderboard points despite collecting just 20 stat points and 40 MVP points throughout the competition. Her 690 win points have instead powered her rise into the top three.
Team Klingler Makes Its Move
Amber Fiser and Reese Atwood may not sit at the very top of the leaderboard, but the Team Klingler teammates made two of the most significant jumps of Series Three.
Fiser climbed 13 places while Atwood jumped 14, pushing both players into the top 15 heading into the final series. The Bandits’ right-handed pitcher and 2026 AUSL Rookie of the Year now find themselves within striking distance of another significant climb if they can continue collecting win points during the final week.
Falby, Edenfield and Allchin Enter the Final Week in Contention
Kendra Falby, Michaela Edenfield and Jadelyn Allchin also made their way up the leaderboard during Series Three, leaving all three within reach of the top spots entering the final week.
Allchin climbed four places to No. 6 overall, while Edenfield jumped three spots to fifth and Falby moved up two places to fourth.
Falby sits just 20 points behind Flippen with 730 total points, including 690 from win points. Edenfield has similarly relied on team success to climb the standings, collecting 690 win points alongside 10 stat points despite limited time on the field.
Allchin enters the final series with 688 total points, including 630 from win points and 58 from stat points after a pair of hits over the weekend, including a double versus Team Landry.
With fewer than 200 points separating second place from sixth, another strong series could shake up the leaderboard once again as the All-Star Cup individual championship comes down to its final three games.
