She suffered an injury to her left knee last weekend, coach Beth Torina confirmed Tuesday. “Everybody is devastated about it, but we also know we have great depth,” said Torina, who lost catcher Hannah Carson in the second game of the 2023 season to an ACL injury. “We’ll have some young people step up and hopefully not miss a beat. "I think Danieca’s one of the most positive of everyone about it. She’s been at every practice and every meeting to find ways she can help already.” Torina said Coffey, a native of Richmond, Texas, will qualify for a redshirt and return for a fifth year in 2025. Coffey was attempting to cover a bunt in the fifth inning of Saturday’s 3-1 win over San Diego State when she collided and got tangled with Carson. Coffey was helped off of the field and returned to Tiger Park on Sunday with crutches. This marks the second player LSU lost to an injury this season. Starting second baseman Karli Petty had arm surgery earlier this year but is nearing a return, Torina said. Coffey, who made 132 consecutive starts with 16 starts this season, finished with a .404 batting average and 10-game hitting streak. She scored 16 runs, matched her career-high with two homers, had three doubles, two triples and stole five bases to lead the team. She was coming off a career-best season in 2023 in which she was named to the All-Southeastern Conference second team. She had a team-high .392 batting average, 74 hits, .482 on-base percentage and 12 stolen bases. John 14:6 - "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
