There you go. CWS no matter how you see it.

Everything will depend on how well we get to use all the new firepower Coach Glasco acquired...

Nice position to start the season.

Scary good.

I sure hope that Brittney Holland gets some playing time and stays healthy, I really feel for this girl. 2 straight years with season ending injuries.

8 is a solid position from which to move up!! Ladies take care of business, particularly OOC, and a steady rise is probable.

Ranking is good, perfect for the beginning of a new season. High enough to feel our program is respected and low enough to desire to be much better. We have a lot of talent in pitching, fielding and hitting, but there is a newness to this fine softball 🥎 machine! It will take a certain amount of time to get this machine to loosen up and fine tuned and playing together. Geaux Cajuns!

If I recall, I believe coach said in the interview that she went something like 3 for 4 in the Monday scrimmage. If she can keep that up she should get opportunities at the plate.

Yes, she was a first team JUCO All American that hit .471 with 15 HR's and 81 RBI's. Not sure what she will give us, but if she is 3/4's of the player she was in JUCO she will be something special.

.353, 11 HR and 60 RBI's. at 3/4 of the results
.310, 10 HR and 54 RBI's. at 2/3 of the results.

Girl was a special player in JUCO, just has had some unfortunate injuries at UL.

I don't see why 8th would be too low at this juncture. It's been a while since we've finished Top 8 (trip to OKC), so I'd take that ranking as a sign of respect.

We picked up a second All American pitcher capable of beating anyone in addition to another 20 plus wins. No way properly ranked considering returning position players and now pitching. Yeah, I'd say we're under respected.

Just watch. That won't last long...

I think we have a history of being slightly under ranked. So 8th is really good. Tells me we might be a 6 or 5.
Exciting

I just hope the Sunbelt doesn't bring us down too much.
