MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis softball head coach Trena Prater has added another piece to the 2025-26 roster in Paris Brienesse, a member of the Swedish National Softball Team.  
 
Brienesse most recently featured for Angelo State, with prior stops at UT Arlington and Seward County Community College.
 
“I am excited that Paris has been blessed with an extra year to play due to the NCAA junior college ruling changing,” said Prater. “I believe that her leadership and energy will be something that our young team will thrive off of. She is going to bring speed on the base paths and experience to our outfield. Her relentless grit and love for the game will be fun to coach.”
 
In her senior season at Angelo State, Brienesse appeared in 49 games while logging 30 starts. She hit .253 on the season with 22 hits, 22 runs scored and 22 stolen bases. Her 22 stolen bases ranked 88 at the Division II level as she helped the Rambelles to a 47-14 record, including a 34-10 mark in Lone Star Conference play.
 
Brienesse spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons at UT Arlington, appearing in 69 games and holding a .273 batting average while stealing 15 bases as a Maverick.
 
Prior to joining the Mavericks, Brienesse spent her freshman season at Seward County Community College. She held a .311 batting average in her lone season as a Saint, logging 37 hits and 20 stolen bases. She was named a second team Academic All-American in 2022.
 
Brienesse has also competed for the Swedish Softball National Team at the U18 and U22 levels, securing a gold medal in the 2019 U18 Swedish Softball Championships while also earning a bronze in 2020.
 
She joins Ellen Roberts as just the second international athlete in Memphis softball history. Roberts featured in four seasons for the Tigers, finishing with the second most wins (41) in program history in the circle.
 
The Stockholm native will be competing for the Swedish Senior National Team this summer in the 2025 Women’s Softball European Championship held in Prague, Czech Republic.
