LAFAYETTE – Long before the days to the start of the 2017 season began to dwindle down, the No. 11-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns softball team was well-versed with the task laid before them.
A heralded group of sluggers – namely Sara Corbello, Lexie Elkins, Shellie Landry and Kelsey Vincent – was departing after the 2016 season's final out was recorded. That group powered the nation's leading home run club two years running.
"This team has worked hard and prepared thoroughly," Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball head coach Michael Lotief said.
