“We are excited to add Artie to this Tiger team,” said LSU head coach George Fotopoulos. “She is a great player and will be a big help to us. We are also glad to get Louisiana kids whenever possible. This state has a lot of talent, and it is good to see the talent stay here.”
Brown will provide the Tigers with depth at forward and sweeper.
