    LEADING OFF
    Louisiana starts Sun Belt play on the road in Mobile, Alabama visiting South Alabama for a series at Jaguar Field from Friday-Sunday, March 15-17.

    It's the start of the 24th season of softball within the Sun Belt Conference. UL has won its SBC opening series each year since 2014.

    Louisiana, the four-time defending regular season champion, begins its SBC title defense and quest for the program's 20th regular season title.

    The Cajuns carry a streak of 81 consecutive Sun Belt Conference series won into the South Alabama series.

    The SBC series won streak, which dates back to March 2013, is the nation's longest active streak of consecutive conference series won.

    UL arrives in Mobile riding a season-high, six-game win streak.

    Weather may be an issue in Mobile this weekend. Be watching for the possibility of game times being moved. There is a possibility that Friday’s game could be moved to an earlier start time.

    Could be a little advantage. Schultz said it was sold out on Friday.
