Former Louisiana Ragin' Cajun softball player Nerissa Myers was named the National Pro Fastpitch Offensive Player of the Year on Tuesday night.

A native of Petal, Mississippi, Myers played shortstop for Louisiana from 2013-2013, earning All-Sun Belt First Team honors in 2012 and 2013, as well as Third Team All-American honors in 2012.
