FULLERTON, Calif. - UL's softball team made its first outing in the prestigious Judi Garman Classic a successful one Thursday afternoon, following the pitching of Brittany Cuevas and a three-run second inning to a 3-1 victory over Fresno State.
The 15th-ranked Cajuns (25-6) are 1-0 in pool play and will face two more highly-regarded pool opponents tonight. UL will face second-ranked Arizona State at 8:15p.m. and Notre Dame at 10:30 p.m.
Teams are placed into championship brackets by their records in pool play, with bracket play beginning Saturday in the tournament formerly known as the KIA Klassic. UL is a former champion of the nationally-known meet, having won the title in 1994, and nine former champions are in this year's field.
