LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Softball freshman first baseman Emily Smith was named to the 2025 All-Louisiana Collegiate Softball Team by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) on Tuesday.
Smith represented Louisiana as a second team selection on the All-Louisiana squad.
She added to her collegiate rookie season honors that includes a spot on the NFCA All-Gulf Region Team, Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year and Second Team All-Sun Belt.
The Ragin’ Cajuns had representation on the All-Louisiana squad for the 39th time in as many opportunities.
