UL softball coach Michael Lotief believes there's power in numbers.
Imagine his elation when pitcher Ashley Brignac, last year's Gatorade High School Player of the Year at John Curtis, decided to sign with the Cajuns.
No longer would UL rely solely on the pitching of sophomore Brittany Cuevas, the reigning Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year. In fact, joining Cuevas and Brignac in the rotation is freshman Donna Bourgeois, who played at Teurlings Catholic.
Lotief and the Cajuns open a new season with a new approach on the mound today in the Louisiana Tech Invitational in Ruston. They open with UL-Monroe at 10:30 a.m. before playing Louisiana Tech at 1 p.m.
