[RaginDave]

This is unreal. Can you imagine this team in the next 2-4 years???

wow.

We do lose two very important peices of the puzzle in Bertucci and Chatman. But think of a pitching staff that will include Cuervas (who has been nothing short of superb as a Freshman, and Tankersly who is pitching better and better and then add the LA player of the year and one of the top pitchers in the nation in Brignac. Not to mention Hill and Sigur, whom have pitched well in small doses this season.

Geaux Cajuns beat:

Penn State and whomever you play after that
Middle Tennessee (baseball)
Marquette (women's basketball)

Lady Cajuns move on to the semifinals with a 6-5 win over Penn State. It was just posted on Fullertontitans.com

As of yet, they do not have the box score up, so I am not sure exactly how it all worked out. But the important thing is that the Cajuns face Arizona in the Semi's tommorrow at 8:30 PST. That will be 10:30 am your time. 11:30 my time.

Geaux Cajuns!!!!!!

FULLERTON, Calif. - Holly Tankersley's two home runs and the pitching of Brittany Cuevas guided UL's 15th-ranked softball team into the championship semifinals of the Judi Garman Classic Saturday afternoon. But there was also a key defensive play, one by shortstop Codi Runyan, that helped the Cajuns take a 6-5 victory over Penn State in Saturday's quarterfinal round of the nation's most prestigious mid-season collegiate tournament. Penn State, the number two seed from its pool, was holding a 5-4 lead and loaded the bases against Cuevas with one out in the top of the sixth when Runyan ran down a sinking line drive behind third base and ran to the bag for an unassisted double play to end the Nittany Lions' threat.

What about the Cajuns/Zona game. Are there live stats for it?????

FULLERTON, Calif. - UL's softball team suffered its first loss in the prestigious Judi Garman Classic Sunday in the championship semifinals, and Sarah Akamine had everything to do with that setback. The Arizona freshman designated hitter poked two grand-slam home runs - the first two homers of her college career - and provided more than enough offense for the fifth-ranked Wildcats to post a 9-0 victory over the Ragin' Cajuns in the tournament semifinals. Akamine had her first bases-loaded shot in the third inning to give the Wildcats (21-6) a 5-0 lead over the 15th-ranked Cajuns. She added her second slam in the seventh as insurance, which wasn't needed behind the two-hit pitching of Taryne Mowatt. The Cajuns (28-7), who had posted wins over Fresno State, second-ranked Arizona State, Notre Dame and Penn State to reach Sunday's semifinals, managed only Codi Runyan's second-inning single and a sixth-inning single by Lacey Bertucci off Mowatt (15-6). Mowatt struck out 14 of the 27 UL batters she faced. The rest of the story

Please don't let that loss overshadow the great things this team has done in California. There were four pools of play with 4 teams in each pool. Only three teams were 3-0 coming out of pool play. The Lady Cajuns were one of them, Arizona was 2-1. The Cajuns beat Fresno State, Arizona State (ranked #2 in the nation last week) and Notre Dame. They also beat Penn State in a quarter-final game to be elligible to play Arizona in the semi-final. Considering that Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington, Florida State, DePaul, and North Carolina State are top rated teams and were also in the tournament, our ladies did a great job to be one of the best FOUR. Be proud of them. They brought some recognition to the state and to our school. Positive recognition.

There will be a single game Thursday at Cajun Park at 6 p.m. It is against Southern Miss. Be there. They need your support so there will not be a "let down".

This weekend, the Lady Cajuns play WKU in a three game conference set here at home.

As for the other (Judy Garman) finalists, it's time to start paying attention to the Ragin' Cajuns. Their dismantling at the hands of Mowatt and Akamine aside, the Sun Belt powerhouses continue to prove themselves against a tough nonconference schedule. Louisiana-Lafayette lost some power from the lineup after last season, but freshman pitcher Brittany Cuevas had been performing brilliantly as the ace before hitting trouble against Arizona.
