"This weekend is going to be fun," head coach Jo Evans said. "LSU has a great ball club. They have a great pitching staff, and they hit well. They are going to be a tough team to beat, but I love way our kids play the game. I am excited to get out there and get after it."

LSU is 24-3 on the season and is coming off a record breaking 30-8 victory over Louisiana Tech. Sahvanna Jaquish leads the Tiger offense with a .478 average with nine home runs and 37 RBI.
