Torina, Pleasants Named LSWA Coach and Freshman of the Year

NEW ORLEANS – LSU Softball captured two major awards on the 2021 Louisiana Sports Writers Association All-Louisiana college softball team announced late Tuesday.

Tiger shortstop Taylor Pleasants earned Freshman of the Year honors in the state and Beth Torina captured her second state Coach of the Year award.

A Louisiana Sports Writers Association panel of sports media and college softball publicists selected the All-Louisiana team, based on statistics and performances through the teams' conference tournaments. Those statistics were used in this story. There was no All-Louisiana team in 2020 because the COVID-19 pandemic shortened that season.
