The bat-and-ball season is right around the corner, and LSU softball is looking for some redemption after a regional exit as a hosting national seed in 2023.

The Tigers enter the 2024 season with a veteran team and coach in [autotag]Beth Torina[/autotag], who has been in her role since 2012. The team is expected to be one of the best in the league, and the media picked LSU to finish third behind only Tennessee and Georgia, which each received six first-place votes, while LSU didn’t receive any.

The media is also high on several LSU players as four overall were named to the preseason All-SEC squad: [autotag]Sydney Berzon[/autotag], [autotag]Ciara Briggs[/autotag], [autotag]Danieca Coffey[/autotag] and [autotag]Taylor Pleasants[/autotag].

LSU will begin its 2024 campaign on Thursday, Feb. 8, when it hosts Nicholls at Tiger Park.
