Lagniappe. Get to know this class of newcomers for the 2024-25 LSU Women's Basketball season as they showcase what's in their locker.

🔼  Still Making History. The No. 2 LSU gymnastics team started the 2025 season with a bang! The defending national champions beat Iowa State 197.300-194.100 in front of 12,324 fans, the most in attendance for a home opener in LSU history. Aleah Finnegan posted the highest all-around score by an LSU gymnast on opening night with a 39.725. She hadn’t competed in the all-around since March 15, 2024. She also took home all four event titles and the all-around. Kailin Chio posted a 39.575, the highest all-around debut score by an LSU freshman. The Tigers will return on January 11 at the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad in Oklahoma City.

🔼 Takin’ Care Of Business. The sixth-ranked women’s basketball team defeated Auburn 73-63 on Sunday! Aneesah Morrow recorded her 15th double-double of the year with 21 points and 14 rebounds. She’s one double-double shy of 90, which would tie her for the third-most in NCAA DI history. Kailyn Gilbert scored 17 points off the bench, going a perfect 6-6 in the first half. The Tigers will play at No. 15 Tennessee on Thursday at 5:30 p.m

🎥 Dress like Kim Mulkey day was a success!

🔼 Remembering A Legend. LSU is saddened to announce the passing of LSU women’s tennis pioneer Kay McDaniel. She was a standout player, the program’s first All-American, and sits in the LSU record book for most wins in a season and career. She left her mark on the international stage with a reputation for excellence on and off the court. Beyond her athletic achievements, McDaniel was a professor, author, and motivational speaker.

🔼 Slight Setback. The men’s basketball team didn’t start SEC play as they hoped, falling 80-72 to Vanderbilt. The Tigers tried to rally in the second half, going on an 11-2 run to take the lead, but Vanderbilt came alive. Cam Carter led the Tigers with 22 points, his seventh 20-point game this season. This was LSU’s first home loss this season, moving to 11-3 overall. They’ll hit the road for four of their next five games.
