McNeese softball was at home for a doubleheader on Friday night as they hosted the Nicholls Colonels. The doubleheader was originally scheduled for Saturday with just one game set to take place on Friday, but the potential for inclement weather forced McNeese to adjust the scheduling.
McNeese and the Louisiana Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns had faced off two prior times in 2023 before Tuesday’s matchup at Cowgirl Diamond, but entering a windy night in Lake Charles on Tuesday, the Cowgirls had yet to beat their in-state rival from Lafayette, being outscored 13-3 in their previous two matchups combined. Unfortunately for the Cowgirls, it was more of the same on Tuesday night as they recorded just one hit, a Reese Reyna single through the infield, in their 7-0 loss to the Ragin’ Cajuns.
