Former Louisiana Tech Standout Danielle Sheridan Passes Away

Former Louisiana Tech outfielder Danielle Sheridan passed away this week from injuries sustained in a car accident.

She was 35.

Sheridan played for the Lady Techsters from 2006-09, when the program competed in the Western Athletic Conference. She was the starting left fielder for LA Tech through the vast majority of her career, also seeing some action at designated player as a freshman.

A native of Fort Worth, Texas – though born in Tucson, Arizona – Sheridan was an all-WAC honoree during her senior season, when she batted .306 and earned all-state honors from the Louisiana Sportswriters Association.

When her career in Ruston ended, Sheridan stood in the top ten of seven statistical categories in the program’s record books, including 4th all-time in runs scored and walks.
