MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee landed a pair of Blue Raiders on the 2021 All-Conference USA Preseason Team, as Summer Burgess and Lexi Cushing check in as two of the league's top infielders, C-USA announced Thursday.
Burgess and Cushing are both back as graduate students this spring after the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly ended their senior season last year. Both Blue Raiders are already considered among the best in program history, and they could further cement that legacy with a stellar fifth season in Murfreesboro.
"Summer and Lexi have been instrumental in our success over the last several years," MT Head Coach Jeff Breeden said.
