The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team opened play at the Texas A&M Invitational on Friday, February 27 with a statement, earning a 6-1 win over Saint Mary's before knocking off No. 15 Texas A&M, 10-8, in front of 2,622 fans at Davis Diamond in Bryan-College Station, Texas.

The Ragin' Cajuns (13-6) extended their winning streak to three games – remaining perfect on the current week – and collected their second victory over a ranked foe in February (Feb. 15 vs. Ole Miss).

In the nightcap, the Cajuns built a 5-0 lead through three innings against the 15th-ranked Aggies, capitalizing on defensive miscues and timely extra-base hits. Brooke Otto (2-for-2, RBI) doubled twice and scored three times, while Cecilia Vasquez and Marceaux each delivered RBI doubles in a four-run third inning.

Holding a 7-0 lead through four, Louisiana withstood a Texas A&M surge. The Aggies (12-7) plated four runs in the fifth on a grand slam by Micaela Wark and added two more in the sixth to close within 8-6.

Louisiana responded in the seventh as Liscano doubled home a run and Miki Watts followed with an RBI single to extend the lead to 10-6.

The Aggies plated two in the bottom of the seventh on a two-run homer, but Noble (1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K) entered in relief and secured the final three outs for her second save of the season. Sage Hoover (3-2) earned the win after tossing six innings.

UL's offense generated six extra base hits off of Texas A&M pitching. The run production marked the team's fourth time reaching double digits and the most that the Aggies have allowed at Davis Diamond this season.

Friday's play began a series of 12 consecutive games away from home that keeps Louisiana on the road until the SBC home opener on March 20 vs. Texas State.
