Texas softball suffered their second loss of the season.
The Longhorns dropped the first meeting of the top ten showdown with No. 10 ranked Louisiana-Lafayette. After losing 3-2, Texas rebounded to split the home double-header by defeating the Rajin’ Cajuns 2-1.
Although Texas would have preferred to take both games, there were still many positives to take from the split. They handed Louisiana starting pitcher Summer Ellyson her first loss of the season and have out-hit all 18 of their opponents thus far.
Senior pitcher Miranda Elish and junior second baseman Janae Jefferson both went 2-for-3 at the plate in game one. Sophomore catcher Colleen Sullivan and and junior first baseman Lauren Burke each went 2-for-3 in the second meeting.
Texas is now 2-1 against ranked opponents this season.
