Louisiana Softball catcher Lexie Comeaux (Tomball, Texas) has been nominated for the 2019 NCAA Woman of the Year Award, which recognizes graduating female student-athletes who have distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service and leadership throughout their collegiate careers.
Comeaux was a standout performer for the Ragin' Cajuns on the diamond and in the classroom, twice earning all-conference recognition from the Sun Belt Conference (2017, 2019), as well as an NFCA All-Region nod in 2017. As a student, she earned Academic Honor Roll status from the conference three times (2015, 2018, 2019).
Leadership was a strong suit for Comeaux, as her efforts helped Louisiana Softball to four-straight NCAA Tournament appearances during her career, as well as three conference championships.
Comeaux's senior season was one to remember, as she hit .321 from the plate (43-for-134) with eight home runs and 10 doubles. She ranked second on the squad in RBI with 43, despite routinely hitting from the No. 8 spot of head coach Gerry Glasco's lineup. She recorded a league-best 23 RBI in conference games and recorded multiple RBI in all but two Sun Belt series.
The NCAA encourages member schools to honor their top graduating female student-athletes each year by submitting their names for consideration for the Woman of the Year award.
