“We think we have a pretty diverse front line and she (Richardson) and Tinaya make a nice pair, so we think she (Richardson) is going to consistently play a part with goals and assists game to game,” Lee said.

LSU improves their record to 2-1-0 on the year, and will travel to Mobile, Alabama on Aug. 30 to play South Alabama at 7 p.m.
