Lady Cajuns Climb in Both Polls

http://www.ragincajuns.com/common/co...//DSC_0185.jpg

After an impressive 3-0 showing at the 26th Annual Louisiana Classics, which included a 19-4 route of then No. 24 Tulsa, the Cajuns climbed in both the USA Today/NFCA Division I and ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 polls.

The rest of the story

UL-SI

On the USA Today Poll:
How about McNeese (future Cajun opponent) coming in at number 38 on the USA Today poll! Tulsa drops out of the top 25, falling from #24 to #29 in the USA Today & #35 in the ESPN-USA.

(USA Today/ESPN-USA)
For upcoming Cajun opponents, Arizona St (#5/#6), Michigan (#11/#11), Arizona (#16/#16), Houston (#17/#17), Georgia Tech (#23/#20), Kentucky (#22/#24), North Carolina (#26/#25), Northwestern (#31/NR), and Mississippi State (#32/#36) in listed in the polls.

The best part is that four of the nine teams (Kentucky, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, and Northwestern) will all be coming to Lamson Park. No excuses to going out to see some outstanding softball on a regular basis, but now you get to see some ranked teams as well.

I also notice future Cajun opponents Arizona St (#5), Michigan (#11), Arizona (#16), Houston (#17), Kentucky (#22), North Carolina (#26), Northwestern (#31), and Mississippi State (#32) in the same poll.

Hopefully these teams improve their rankings, the more ranked teams we beat out of conference, the better our chance of hosting a regional at Lamson.

I have a hard time believing that there are 20 softball teams that are better than us. Maybe I'm wrong, but if so, those teams must be DAMN good.

WOW! We'd better be ready when we play them.

Very nice schedule this year.

Looks like McNeese pitches and plays good defense but they don't have a big offense. Nice to see them winning though, they received votes to make Arizona State's loss look better I would imagine.

This is the year people, it really could be the year. Lots of teams showed vulnerability in the first week and LSU looks to be dead on offense if we do what we need to do the road could very well be through Lamson Park
