BATON ROUGE – LSUsports.net will get to know the seven newcomers on the Tiger softball team leading into the 2010 season. Today’s edition features Cassie Trosclair.
Trosclair joins the Tigers from Auburn and will sit out this season due to SEC transfer regulations. She will have two years of eligibility remaining at LSU starting in 2011. During her two seasons at Auburn, Trosclair appeared in 107 games highlighted by 51 starts as a freshman. The New Orleans native paced Auburn with a .667 batting average at the 2008 NCAA Regionals.
Trosclair won three district titles at Cabrini High School en route to All-District First-Team and All-New Orleans Team accolades.
“I plan on putting everything I have and playing as hard as I can to continue to LSU’s championship tradition,” Trosclair said. “I want to come in and work together with my teammates to get the Tigers to the College World Series.”
