Jessica Lemoine may be a freshman on the University of Louisiana softball team, but she knows her program history - and she knows that the Ragin' Cajuns have won every league title the Sun Belt Conference has ever awarded.
"Once you've won it six or seven straight years," Lemoine said, "you want to say that you kept that going during your time. You never talk about not winning the conference as an option."
The Cajuns can lock down their sixth regular-season title in as many years and their seventh title overall this weekend in a three-game series at Middle Tennessee. The teams play a 2 p.m. doubleheader today and a wrapup noon game on Sunday at newly-remodeled Blue Raider Field in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
UL (42-10, 9-3 Sun Belt) wins the regular-season title outright with a weekend sweep, or with any combination of three wins and Florida International losses. Two wins would give the Cajuns no worse than a share of the title and the No. 1 seed for next weekend's league tournament in Miami.
