LAKE CHARLES- McNeese softball head coach James Landreneau has announced the signing of Sam Houston High outfielder Erin Ardoin to a NLI, joining seven student-athletes who signed NLI's in November.
 
The native of Moss Bluff is a three-time all-district selection, earning first team honors as a senior and second team as a freshman and sophomore. She was also named to the all-academic team this season.
 
Ardoin ended the 2021 season with a .526 batting average, .600 on base percent with 13 RBI, 17 stolen bases, three triples, two doubles, and was a member of the LHSAA All-Star game.
 
 "Erin is a fierce competitor who is a true student of the game," said McNeese head coach James Landreneau. "She has a great personality and family who has much experience in playing at the highest levels of baseball, which attributes to much of her success. She has been around the game for a very long time and truly embodies what it means to be a selfless leader both on and off the field."
