It's not the first preseason poll to give the Ragin' Cajuns a top 10 ranking. Last week, D1softball ranked Louisiana at number seven in its 2021 preseason top 25 poll.
Typically ranked each year at the start of the season, a number nine ranking in the coaches poll (and number 7 in D1softball) is not a surprise.
The Cajuns first weekend of softball is set for Friday, February 12-Saturday, February 13, when they host Baylor and Missouri State in the 25th Annual Louisiana Classics at Lamson Park.
Louisiana's entire season scheduled was released yesterday. (More breakdown here)
Opponents currently on the Ragin' Cajuns schedule include the following top 25 teams visiting Lamson Park are Baylor, LSU, Oklahoma State, and Texas, and road games versus LSU and Alabama.
Last season, Louisiana was 18-6, ranked in everyone's top ten, and number one in the RPI poll when the season was shut down in mid-March due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Louisiana is one of only 9 programs to appear in an NCAA Regional every year since 2000, joining Alabama, Arizona, Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, UCLA, and Washington.
