Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne shares 'heartbreaking' news about her senior night at PMAC

Olivia Dunne, girlfriend of Pirates ace Paul Skenes, shared some bad news on her Instagram stories on Thursday. The LSU gymnast announced she had an avulsion fracture of her patella and that she was 'heartbroken' that she would be unable to compete on her senior night.

No. 2 LSU will now face No. 10 Georgia in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center without her. Dunne's last appearance on the mat was on January 24 against the Arkansas Razorbacks, a meet in which the LSU Tigers lost 196.600-196.875.

"Hi friends! Unfortunately, I've been dealing with an avulsion fracture of my patella and will not be able to compete on senior night. It absolutely breaks my heart not to get the opportunity to compete in the PMAC one last time. Tiger fans, you've been so good to me! Thank you for the endless support, and as always, Geaux Tigers! - Liv."
