Just to let you know Coach Aly point of view in the newspaper today.
For the UL Ragin’ Cajuns softball team, it’s got to be mind over matter heading into Friday’s start of Sun Belt Conference play against Marshall at 5 p.m. at Dot Hicks Field in Huntington, West Virginia.
For one, there’s the rebound from Wednesday’s 14-0 loss at No. 4 LSU. It certainly helps that coach Alyson Habetz’s club did so the week before after losing five straight with wins over Iowa and Alabama on Saturday.
“I know they know they can respond,” Habetz said. “I think they know they’re better and I think facing good competition only helps us.”
Then there’s how to deal with the program’s incredible Sun Belt series streak. UL has won 89 consecutive league series dating back to March of 2013. In last year’s regular season finale, the Cajuns beat Troy 4-1 on Sunday to win the rubber match for the 15th time during the streak.
“When we did the goals at the beginning of the year, that’s one of the goals,” Habetz said. “That’s the standard, so we want to keep that. I think it’s more of an opportunity to continue the standard. It’s not going to be a burden. We don’t really talk about it.”
