NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball senior catcher and two-time All-American Lexie Elkins was chosen as the No. 1 overall pick by the Pennsylvania Rebellion in the 2016 National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) College Senior Draft presented by Bownet Sports at the CMA Theater of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Elkins becomes the first No. 1 overall pick – and third draftee – in Ragin' Cajuns history.
"Incredible, awesome and surreal were the emotions upon hearing Lexie's name as the No. 1 pick, and to realize that what 'we have already known' – that Lexie is the best of the best – is now known by all," Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball head coach Michael Lotief said.
