BATON ROUGE – The No. 11/11 LSU softball team opens the 2020 regular season on Thursday evening, taking on Central Arkansas at 6 p.m. The Tigers will then host the 10th-annual Tiger Classic over the weekend, welcoming in Oklahoma State and Florida A&M.
The Tigers, under ninth-year head coach Beth Torina, return 16 student-athletes from the 2019 squad and welcome in seven newcomers. The Tigers return NFCA All-American Shelbi Sunseri and All-SEC performer Aliyah Andrews. The two were named to the Preseason All-SEC team and Andrews earned a spot on the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Top 50 Watch List last week.
