LSU DAILY NEWS

LSU softball’s fall season showcased transfer impact, freshman flashes, and growing depth as the Tigers prepare for the 2025 campaign.

Torina enters her 15th season at LSU in 2026 with an all-time coaching record of 710–365 over 18 seasons. She has compiled a 581–254 record in Baton Rouge, making her the winningest coach in program history and the only active LSU coach with more than 500 victories.

Sydney Gonglik isn’t just another top-10 recruit. She’s a rare two-way threat, a natural leader, and a competitor who thrives under pressure. For LSU, her commitment is another statement — the Tigers are building a class designed not just to compete, but to win championships.

Gaudio said. “It felt like family and super close, and I knew then that’s where I wanted to go. We had a little break between touring and practice, and Coach Beth called me and my family. At the end of the meeting, she asked if I had any questions. I told her, ‘I don’t have any more questions, but I do have something to say. I’m ready to be a Tiger!’ She was so excited and so cheerful, she almost made me cry.”
