Earlier this month Dunne announced she’s returning to LSU for her senior season. “I really wanted to come back — well, first of all, we won last year, our team made LSU history, first national championship. It was so exciting for, not only our team, but the whole university and that’s a feeling that I want to feel again,” Dunne said in an interview with the New York Post. “It was so special and the bond with the girls, and I really found my love for the sport again, last year, I would say. So that’s one of the main reasons why I wanted to come back.”

Dunne also talked about being an alternate for much of LSU’s 2024 season. “I think that position is super hard because there’s a bunch of people telling you that you’re not important or you’re not really part of the team when you are,” Dunne said. “There’s more people that aren’t doing things than are. It’s hard. The sport is competitive and being on a team is a healthy competition everyday to push each other to be better. There definitely were times where my love for the sport lulled.”

Dunne is currently dating Pittsburgh Pirates (and former LSU) pitcher Paul Skenes who had a memorable rookie season. In 23 starts, Skenes posted a 11-3 record with a 1.96 ERA and 170 strikeouts.

“I had some nerves creeping in at first, but I kind of channeled that into excitement more than nerves,”  Dunne said about Skenes’ debut in May, per MLB.com. “I just have the most confidence in him ever, so I trust in him and what he’s put in, and I’m just so excited.”
