LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team continues its fall exhibition schedule this week beginning on Wednesday, October 30 at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park against Baton Rouge Community College.
The Ragin' Cajuns and Bears matchup at Lamson Park on Wednesday is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m.

Following Wednesday night's outing, UL travels to Lake Charles on Friday, November 1 for a 5:00 p.m. contest with McNeese at Joe Miller Field at Cowgirl Diamond. Fans are encouraged to visit the twitter feed for McNeese (@McNeeseSoftball) for game day specific information.
The Ragin' Cajuns opened their 2024 fall exhibition slate last week – the first on-field competition under the guidance of program alum and head coach Alyson Habetz – at Lamson Park posting a three-game sweep of matchups with Pearl River CC, Northwest Florida and Pensacola State.
Louisiana's offense produced double-figure runs twice in totaling 20-plus runs. Pitchers Sam Ryan, Mallory Wheeler, Tyra Clary and Bethaney Noble combined to limit foes to two runs over 21 innings highlighted by Clary's complete game shutout of JUCO World Series participant Northwest Florida.
The 2025 Ragin' Cajuns are led by four-year veterans Laney Credeur, Kayla Falterman and Maddie Hayden looking to leave their lasting imprint on the Ragin' Cajuns legacy. Other key returning players include sure-handed shortstop Cecilia Vasquez who led the team in home runs in conference play last season and All-Sun Belt performer Sam Roe coming off career-highs in average (.320), base hits (58), and RBI (39).
The newcomers are highlighted by the eight additions Habetz and her staff made this summer that includes veteran pitchers Sage Hoover and Tyra Clary plus postseason experience in McNeese transfers Erin Ardoin and Brooke Otto. UL also welcomed a group of six first-time freshmen headlined by infielder Emily Smith who ranked Top 15 nationally among the high school ranks in home runs and RBI last spring.
