Georgia Southern softball has returned to Beautiful Eagle Field for the Spring 2023 campaign! All throughout the season, we'll be spotlighting our seniors with our 5 Questions segment. Next up is pitcher Kyleigh Richardson!

Kyleigh joined the Eagles as a freshman from Stafford, Va., in 2020 and went 3-0 in the circle in her first year in Statesboro. She pitched in 20 games as a sophomore, including limiting No. 6 Florida to just three hits and two runs in Gainesville on February 20. An injury has kept Kyleigh out of action this season but she is a three-time Sun Belt Conference Academic Commissioner's List honoree who is pursuing her bachelor's degree in chemistry at Georgia Southern.
