It marked the first back-to-back no-hitters for the Cajuns since Cheryl Longeway and Jennifer Clendenin blanked Furman on March 3, 1995. "The pitchers came out there with some fight and were prepared on every pitch," Cajuns senior first baseman Gabby Bridges siad.
Can anyone say "Championship" !!!!!!!!!!!!! :) This team has a lot of good players and depth at each position. We be seeing the start of a WCWS run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To play devil's advocate here, let's see what the girls can do in California and Florida next month. How they play in those games will help determine if this team is a title contender.Quote:

Wrong. We are a title contender year in and year out. If this softball program was at a bsc school with same coaches and same players it would be top 10 or higher every year and host regionals most years. When it comes to softball we are one of the big programs and need to prove nothing to no one.Quote:

I think the upgrades we are making on our facility (when they get done) will have a huge impact. Being able to host Regionals will help us get to that next rung.Quote:

Ragin’ Cajuns co-head coach Stefni Lotief recorded her 500th career win with a Saturday 14-1 win against Arkansas and her husband and co-head coach Michael Lotief got his 400th career victory in the next game, a 28-0 win versus Prairie View A&M.
Gabriele Bridges earned Sun Belt Player of the Week after hitting .700 on the week with seven home runs, an .85-on-base percentage, 2.800 slugging percentage and 17 RBI on the weekend. She was walked six times, twice intentionally, on the weekend. She was named the NFCA/Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week for her efforts.
Teammate Ashley Brignac earned conference Pitcher of the Week honors after making two starts last weekend while coming off of a medical redshirt in 2010.
