BATON ROUGE, La. – The LSU softball team ranks No. 17 in both the NFCA/GoRout Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll and the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 Poll.
LSU moved up two spots in the NFCA Poll, while staying put in the USA Softball poll. The Tigers also increased three spots to No. 17 in the Softball America Poll and one spot to No. 19 in the D1Softball Poll.
