Louisiana softball team triumphs over Coastal Carolina
LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns Softball team completed a dominant weekend at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park on Sunday, April 19, using relentless two-out hitting and a steady effort in the circle to defeat Coastal Carolina, 8-2, and secure a Sun Belt Conference series sweep.
The Ragin’ Cajuns (25-22, 8-10 SBC) collected all eight of their runs with two outs, showcasing timely execution throughout the first three innings to put the game out of reach early.
The sweep marked Louisiana’s first in SBC play this season and its first since taking all three games from Southern Miss to close the 2025 regular season (May 1-3). The win also preserved Louisiana’s perfect all-time record (now 15-0) at home against the Chanticleers (22-26, 6-12 SBC).
Louisiana continued its climb up the SBC standings, moving into a sixth-place tie as the race for positioning in the May 6-9 championship tournament being held at Lamson Park enters the stretch run.

HOW IT HAPPENED
UL wasted little time applying pressure. In the first inning, with two outs, Haley Hart delivered a run-scoring triple down the right field line before Emily Smith followed with an RBI single for a 2-0 lead.
The decisive blow came in the second. After two quick outs, the Ragin’ Cajuns strung together five consecutive productive at-bats.
Kennedy Marceaux started the surge with an RBI double, Mia Liscano added a run-scoring single, and Hart capped the rally with a two-run single through the right side. Louisiana plated four runs in the frame, all with two outs, extending the lead to 6-0.
Two more runs crossed in the third inning, again with two outs. Marceaux reached on an error and later scored, while Liscano delivered another RBI single.
Coastal broke through in the fourth inning when McKennah Metzger hit a two-run home run to left-center, trimming the deficit to 8-2. However, that would be the Chanticleers’ final push offensively.
From that point on, Bethaney Noble (4.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K) took control in the circle.
