HOUSTON - One by one when asked to make sense of this postseason run by UL's softball team, the players involved kept repeating the same basic premise.

It was a pretty awesome game last night here in Houston. And to think we won with a freshman pitcher. Great crowd. The 1200 or so was probably split right down the middle. Congrats to all the Cajun fans that drove to Houston to back up our team.
