FAREWELL TO A COURAGEOUS COMPETITOR

We have heavy hearts to up learning that former LSU soccer player Robyn DesOrmeaux, who earned four letters as the team’s starting goalkeeper from 2001-04, lost her battle with cancer Thursday morning as she passed away at the age of 27.

DesOrmeaux enjoyed an outstanding career with the Tigers as she ranks among the all-time greats to ever wear the purple and gold. She is LSU’s all-time leader with 28 wins during her four-year career, while she also ranks No. 3 in school history with 183 career saves and 13.5 career shutouts.

More importantly than her stats was the way she battled and taught us all courage with grace.
