LSU falls to Stanford in Game 2 of super regional
After an offensive explosion in Game 1, LSU softball failed to conjure up the same fireworks in Game 2.

Ex-UCLA guard Will McClendon is transferring to San Jose State for the 2024-25 season. "Will McClendon brings the type of character and talent we need at San Jose State," Spartans coach Tim Miles said. "He is a two-way guard that can make plays with the ball in his hand or off the ball. He has competed at a high level in high school and college.

We are very excited to have Will on board." 247Sports ranked the 6-foot-3 McClendon as a four-star prospect in the Class of 2021 out of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. He missed the 2021-22 season due to an injury. He appeared in 60 games for the Bruins, including all 33 in the 2023-24 season when he averaged 4.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists.
