Hilltoppers announce addition of O'Daniel to recruiting class

Western Kentucky softball coach Amy Tudor announced the signing of Hopkinsville's Lexie O’Daniel on Thursday.

A right-handed pitcher who will also see time as an infielder, O’Daniel finished her senior season at Christian County High School with a 15-2 record in the circle and a 2.03 ERA. She had 132 strikeouts in 96 innings pitched.

At the plate, the 2018 first-team all-state selection hit .392 with 13 home runs and 46 RBIs. O’Daniel helped the Lady Colonels to a 37-win campaign and the squad’s first region title in six years during her senior season.

O’Daniel was a six-time all-district team selection and earned an all-region spot three times during her high school career.
