In his career, he has played in 99 games and started in 93 of them.

🔼 Yearly Honors. The Southeastern Conference came out with its end-of-season honors, and two Cats were awarded. Laney Frye earned All-Southeastern Conference First Team. Marissa Wenzler was named to the SEC Community Service Team. This is the first time Frye was named to the award. She had an average stroke of 70.7 in nine tournaments and 26 rounds. Wenzler completed nearly 50 hours of community service while holding a 4.0 GPA in her master’s program.

🔼 Last SEC Series. The softball team began its last Southeastern Conference Series of the season with an 8-3 loss against No. 3 Tennessee. The game was tied at 3-3 until the Lady Vols took off in the fifth inning to win the game.
