[NewsCopy]

HOUSTON - Vanessa Soto had a crooked smile leaking from under her sweat-drenched cap and rubbed three fingers together as a gesture to answer the question. "It's money time," the Cajuns' senior second baseman said with a wink. She won't say it, but that sure has to sound sweet after being released by LSU last May following three standout seasons for the Tigers.

If given the chance UL is always a good choice. I cannot tell you how happy I was when she selected UL for her final year. Ms Soto mom said V A simply loves Louisiana, the state.

I am asking this for point of conversation and NOT to question Coaches Lotief and Lotief... because they know a hell of a lot more about softball than any of us...
