History

LSU softball had its beginnings in 1979 with a team coached by Carol Smith. However, after only three seasons, LSU decided to shut down its softball program. In 1997 the Southeastern Conference decided to begin sponsoring softball, partly to help member institutions to comply with Title IX. LSU softball was reborn and quickly became one of the best teams in the conference. Since 1997, LSU has won 5 regular season SEC championships and 5 SEC tournament championships, more than any other school in the conference. LSU has also appeared in two Women's College World Series'.
