Ragin’ Cajuns kick off the Alyson Habetz era with first three weekends at Lamson Park
LAFAYETTE – With the first three weekends of the season set for Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park during the first season under the guidance of program alum Alyson Habetz, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns released its 2025 Softball schedule on Tuesday.
Louisiana, the five-time defending Sun Belt Conference regular season champion and NCAA Tournament participant 25-years running, will play national-runner up Texas, Ole Miss, Houston and LSU in non-conference play at Lamson Park and also host James Madison and South Alabama in SBC play.
Habetz's first season in charge of the Ragin' Cajuns officially begins with the 39th Annual Louisiana Classics from February 6-9 at Lamson Park. The season-opening weekend event will feature an appearance by national runner-up Texas.
The following two weekends, Louisiana hosts the Ragin' Cajuns Invitational I (Feb. 14-16) and Ragin' Cajuns Invitational II (Feb. 21-23) to complete the season-opening homestand. Ole Miss and Houston are the highlighted guests as the expected 15-game stretch at Lamson Park concludes.
Non-conference tournament play concludes on the road at Auburn (Feb. 28-March 2) and Alabama (March 7-8). Between the two trips, the first midweek game occurs on March 5 at Mississippi State.
The road stretch closes with a trip to Baton Rouge on March 11 to open a midweek home-and-home with LSU, followed by the SBC Opening Weekend series in Huntington, West Virginia at Marshall from March 14-16.
The remainder of March features a five-game homestand including McNeese (March 18), the SBC home opener vs. ULM (March 21-23) and LSU's visit to Lamson Park on March 25 – all before a road trip to Coastal Carolina (March 28-30).
Play in April begins at Lamson Park against Louisiana Tech (April 2) and is followed by an SBC road series at Troy from April 4-6 and the return trip to Ruston to meet LA Tech on April 8.
Louisiana will then be at Lamson Park for three out of the four weekends during the season's stretch run, starting with James Madison for Alumni Weekend from April 11-13 and South Alabama during Easter Weekend (April 17-19).
The Cajuns travel to the state of Texas for Spring Break, visiting Texas A&M (April 22) and Texas State (April 25-27), before closing the regular season May 1-3 at Lamson Park vs. Southern Miss.
The Sun Belt Conference Softball Championships takes place in Troy, Alabama from May 7-10 with the NCAA Regionals scheduled to start on May 16.
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.
Louisiana Softball season ticket sales will resume on Wednesday, November 20, available for purchase online at RaginCajuns.com/tickets or by calling the Louisiana Athletics Ticket Office at (337) 482-GoUL (4685).
