July 04, 2024 | Softball
LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech softball program announced the signing of Louisiana Lafayette transfer Chloe Riassetto on Thursday. Riassetto, a pitcher, played for coach Gerry Glasco the past two seasons and joins the Red Raiders after recording a 2.56 ERA with 15 wins in 2024.
Â
A Friendswood, Texas native, Riassetto will enter her junior year as a Red Raider. The lefty had an impressive 78.9-win percentage over 19 results. The highlight of her 2024 campaign came against No. 1 Oklahoma when she pitched a complete eight inning performance to help the Ragin' Cajuns pull off the historical upset. She also had ranked wins over Baylor, Texas State and Baylor again in the NCAA Regional.
Â
In her freshman season, Riassetto primarily came out of the bullpen making just one start in 22 appearances but made the most of her opportunities as she posted a 2-1 record with three saves. Riassetto also recorded 78 strikeouts to just 39 walks over 167 innings.
Â
She was named to the All-Sun Belt Conference Second Team for her performance this season and was also named a member of the 2024 College Sports Communicator Academic All-District Team for her performance in the classroom.
Â
"Chloe has worked really hard to become one of the elite pitchers in college softball," said Gerry Glasco. "As just a sophomore last season she had huge wins over four top 15 opponents including Oklahoma. She also excels in the classroom and represents the type of student-athletes we want to build this program on. Chloe always puts her team first and it sets the tone for a winning team and program. I am beyond thrilled to have her joining us in Lubbock."
