The Independence Bowl annually awards the Carl Mikovich Sportsperson of the Year Award to some of the greatest athletes and sports figures from the local area who shine a light on Shreveport-Bossier City through their contributions on and off the field, and the 2025 recipients of the award exemplify the very spirit of the award – the LSU Shreveport baseball team.
“Our program is extremely honored to receive yet another award for our amazing success this past year. Being named the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl’s Carl Mikovich Sportsperson of the Year as a team is an unbelievable honor that we are extremely grateful for,” said Pilots Head Coach Brad Neffendorf. “We had a special group of players, coaches, and staff, but the support within our University and the City of Shreveport was second to none.”
“I’m excited and thankful for our baseball team to receive this recognition,” said LSUS Athletics Director Lucas Morgan. “There have been some incredible recipients of this award historically, so for us to be recognized with this is a great honor. Thank you to the committee for selecting us.”
The Pilots became the first team in college baseball history to finish undefeated, as they were crowned champions at the 2025 Avista NAIA Baseball World Series with a perfect 59-0 record on the season. LSUS Baseball posted a 47-0 regular season record – including 30-0 in Red River Athletic Conference (RRCA) play – and swept through postseason play to complete the perfect season. Their 59-game win streak, which has a chance to be extended at the start of the 2026 season, is the longest in college baseball history.
