COLUMBIA, Mo. – Two-time All-Sun Belt honoree Chloe Rathburn is transferring from the South Alabama softball program and will attend and play softball at the University of Missouri, as announced Tuesday by Mizzou Head Softball Coach Ehren Earleywine.

Rathburn, a 5-foot-8 catcher/infielder from Mission Viejo, Calif. (Capistrano Valley High School), was a first-team All-Sun Belt selection at designated player in 2015 after she led South Alabama with a .371 batting average, and a school-record 53 runs batted in.  The Jaguars went 40-13 in 2015 and won the Sun Belt Tournament championship before being eliminated in the NCAA Tournament Regionals by Auburn.

Rathburn started all 53 games for South Alabama in 2015, including 27 at DP, to go with 26 starts at catcher.  The right-handed batter added 15 doubles and four home runs to her ledger last season, while she had a solid 27-to-17 walks-to-strikeouts ratio and a .461 on-base percentage.
