HOME SWEET HOME: Cajuns Earn No. 6 Overall Seed in NCAA Tourney
LAFAYETTE, La. - With a 44-8-1 record and a Sun Belt Conference Championship under their belt, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns softball team received a No. 6 national seed in the 2014 NCAA Softball tournament, and will host the opening NCAA Regionals that begin on Friday at Lamson Park.
The NCAA Lafayette Regional will be played on Friday, May 16 through Sunday May 18 with the Cajuns taking on Texas Southern (31-18) on Friday at 6 p.m., with Texas (33-21) and Mississippi State (38-19) playing at 3 p.m. Both games on Friday will be televised nationally on ESPN3.
"It means a lot to this program," head coach Michael Lotief said of getting a national seed. "It's respect to this group of kids and shows their body of work throughout the season. There are so many good softball teams in the country and to be chosen by the committee as one of the top eight seeds is a testament to how they have played throughout the year.
"It also allows our fans to be here and go on this journey with us. If we are going to do this, it is going to be because of our fans and we are going to do it side-by-side. We are going to have to play good softball with some quality programs coming in here. We are going to have to be our best day in and day out."
The Cajuns are making their 24th trip to the NCAA Tournament, and have never missed the tournament under Lotief. They have advanced the the NCAA Super Regionals in three of the last four years, including last season when they swept the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional to advance to the NCAA Ann Arbor Super Regional.
"This is obviously a tremendous honor for our softball program to earn a national seed," Director of Athletics Scott Farmer said. "We look forward to hosting three great teams this weekend while showcasing one of college softball's premier facilities and the greatest fan base in the country."

J-Town has a friend/coworker that graduated from UL and has been a Louisiana fan for sometime now. She had Never been to a UL Softball game until the first Regional game 2 weeks ago. I had an extra ticket, J-Town called me and I hooked her up with a ticket. 
My seats are right next to the brick wall behind where the batting circle for UL is located.
