Coming out of high school, Geurin was ranked the No. 7 pitcher in the class of 2022 by Extra Inning Softball and the No. 20 player overall.

She joins an Auburn squad that finished 29-21-1 and ninth in the SEC in 2024 with a 9-15 conference record. They were eighth in the SEC in team ERA.

The Tigers were eliminated in the Tallahassee regional in the regional final. Before taking their second loss to Florida State, Auburn had to work their way through the loser’s bracket following their loss to UCF in the opener.

Quincee Lilio is the other Sooner yet to make a portal decision at this stage of the offseason.

Oklahoma added catcher Isabela Emerling from North Carolina on Friday night.

Auburn softball earns two seed in Tallahassee regional

Auburn earned the No. 2 seed in the Tallahassee regional for the 2021 NCAA Tournament.

Auburn’s softball season isn’t quite done yet.

On Sunday, the Tigers found out that they have made the NCAA Tournament and will be the No. 2 seed in the Tallahassee regional.

“It really speaks to our schedule and the strength of the SEC that we’re a number two seed,” said head coach Mickey Dean. “It’s going to be a tough regional. UCF is a tough team. I’ve played them in the past. They are well coached, and they have some great players. Florida State, Kennesaw State – we’ve split with both of them this year. We’re excited to be going and are looking forward to getting started.”

The Tigers (27-22) faces off against No. 3 UCF on Friday, May 21 at 1 p.m. CST. Host and top seed Florida State plays No. 4 Kennesaw State.
