Softball Jumps Up In Polls

[NewsCopy]

After starting the season 5-0, Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns softball team was rewarded by jump in the polls. The USA Today/NFCA Top-25 poll has the Cajuns ranked No. 16. The ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top-25 poll has the Cajuns at No. 18. Prior to this week the Cajuns were ranked No. 24 and No. 23, respectively.

The Lady Cajuns are one of six teams in the polls who are still undefeated after the opening weekend.

The five wins for UL all came at the 24th Annual Louisiana Classic this past weekend. The Cajuns claimed the tournament title and placed five players on the all-tournament team. Senior Vallie Gaspard was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.

Louisiana will face its first ranked opponent this weekend at the Marriott Invitational in Houston, Texas. On Saturday, Feb. 20, UL will take on No. 20/15 Texas (5-0) at 9:00 a.m. CT. UL will also face tournament host Houston, Purdue, Texas-San Antonio and Iowa State over the weekend.

Only problem with 16 is that it is 15 spots too low for this team!

CAJUN SOFTBALL #1

These rankings are more like I thought they should be going into the season. I knew there was no way we were the 24th best team in the country to begin the season.

I was able to make 4 games last weekend and this team is a blast to watch. Orgeron is a stud and if we can tighten up our defense a bit, this softball team isn't going to lose too many games this year.

Is Orgeron any relation to the college football coach?
