🎥 LSU+: THE PATH

The Path | Lessons | S4 EP2

LSU Football returns to Death Valley for the 2025 home opener against in-state opponent Louisiana Tech. Although a winning effort, the Tigers learned some lessons about themselves and the standard they wish to uphold each week.

🔼 Par For Widal’s Course. Sophomore Josefin Widal finished T10 in the Cougar Classic at the historic Yeamans Hall Course with a 54-hole total of 3-under par 213. LSU came home in 8-over par 292 to finish in a three-way tie for sixth place at the end at 2-over 854 (288-274-292).

It was Widal’s fourth career top 10 for the native of Sweden. Transfer Francesca Fiorellini just missed the top 10 with a 1-over par final round of 72 to finish her first LSU start in a tie for 12th place at 2-under par 214. Widal and Fiorellini’s totals supported the Tigers in the opening event, which concluded on a windy day in Charleston that sent a lot of team scores upward.

🔼 Who Needs Luck When You’ve Got This Squad? LSU volleyball continued its winning ways with a 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 25-22) sweep over Notre Dame in the inaugural Showdown at the Net between SEC and ACC programs Tuesday night at Purcell Pavilion.

LSU (5-2) extended its winning streak to four matches and improved to 7-2 all-time against Notre Dame (1-3).

Defensively, LSU held Notre Dame to a .143 hitting percentage, the third consecutive opponent the Tigers have kept under the .200 mark. Outside hitters Jurnee Robinson and Nia Washington spearheaded the Tiger offense. Washington posted a match-high 18.5 points with 14 kills on a .344 clip, three blocks, and two service aces.

🔼 Boo Knows Track. Former LSU track and field coach Irving “Boo” Schexnayder is headed to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Coaches Hall of Fame as a member of the 2025 class. The Louisiana native is well-known for his 18 years of coaching at LSU and has accumulated over 40 years of experience in coaching and consulting.

Schexnayder and five other coaches will be officially inducted into the USTFCCCA Coaches Hall of Fame on Thursday, Dec. 18, in Grapevine, Texas, at the annual USTFCCCA convention.

🔼 BK Breaks it Down. It’s always a great time having Coach Kelly in the film room.

There’s no need to break down this run… 👇🏼

🔼 Hoops, From A to Z. After three years of pro basketball in Israel, Ron Zipper is sure to be a stellar addition to the Tiger team.

🔼 Taking Some New Faces For a Test Run. Tigers, both new and old, have been putting in the work for this track season.
