LAMSON PARK The official beginning of the game is right around the corner when Harris begins belting out the Cajuns starters in a style all his own. Harris a.k.a. “The Voice of the Ragin’ Cajuns,” has been a fixture on the microphone and will always have all of the fans’ attentions, regardless of what is taking place on the field. The field itself is what it’s all about. It provides the ultimate in playing and spectator facilities. From the oak trees that line the outfield fence, to the park benches at the front entrance to the astounding green grass that covers the field, the park provides all the comforts of home. The evolution of Lamson Park has been ongoing ever since it was constructed in the 1980’s. Starting in the early 1990’s the facility began to grow into its current state. After sustaining damage during Hurricane Andrew in 1992, a 30-foot backstop and a grandstand seating section were added behind home plate. Not long after, a Press Box/Concession was added on to the grandstand. The Cajuns received a welcome addition to Lamson Park at the end of the 1994 season. With the generosity and effort of many loyal fans, the Cajuns received a locker room/bathroom facility with brand new carpeting and a satellite television, as well as leather furniture – giving the team plenty of room for relaxation before and after the game. An equipment room with a washer and dryer was also part of the facility. Other features added included a public address system and an electronic scoreboard in right field, which also included a message board. Lamson Park had a 225-foot fence encircling the entire field until the 1995 season. NCAA regulations called for an adjustment of the fence so that all possible Regional sites could be uniform. The fence now reaches 200-feet down the lines and 220-feet in centerfield. The five-foot high red wall gave up few home runs until the implementation of the neon ball in 1993 by the NCAA, which allows for a more “offensive” game. Five home runs left the park in 1993. In 2001, the Ragin’ Cajuns said good-bye

In 2002, a brick wall was added to the backstop and a new lighting system was installed just in time for the Ragin’ Cajuns to host a 2002 NCAA Regional. The lighting system allowed Lamson Park to meet the NCAA lighting standards for hosting an NCAA Regional, an amenity in which few facilities across the country compare to. The all-time Lamson Park attendance high occurred on May 20, 2012, when 2,729 softball fans watched their Ragin’ Cajuns defeat Stanford,

THE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Joseph Savoie University President
When Dr. E. Joseph Savoie became the University’s sixth president in 2008, he worked with volunteer transition teams and the campus community to formulate a strategic plan to guide the institution’s growth and development. S ome components of that plan that reflect the University’s commitment to students have already taken shape. The University has increased its student housing capacity nearly 40 percent by adding new residence halls and constructing new parking towers. The Student Union was expanded and renovated to meet the United States Green Building Council LEED Certification Rating. The new campus hub opened in January 2015 featuring restaurants, meeting spaces, student-service offices, a collegiate shop and bookstore, and a post office. A large plaza overlooks Cypress Lake. The University unveiled a comprehensive master plan for campus that includes provisions for managing growth, development and change over the next two decades. The plan features additional parking, bikeways and mixed-use development of property. The University continues to focus on providing a quality education and a fulfilling college experience. Savoie and other university administrators support an academic environment that draws energetic and innovative faculty members, promotes community service and encourages mutually beneficial partnerships with state industries and area businesses. 6
2 01 6 S o ft b all M e d ia G u id e
Prior to being named president of the University, Savoie was Louisiana’s Commissioner of Higher Education for 12 years. Under his leadership, higher education governance was restructured, a statewide community and technical college system was created, teacher education programs were redesigned, the state’s first needbased financial-aid program was created and a master plan for public postsecondary education was implemented. His affiliations include the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AASCU), the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). He serves on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors and the NCAA Board of Governors. He previously served on the Board of Trustees for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). He also serves on several advisory groups that address higher education policy. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UL Lafayette, and served as the institution’s first vice president for University Advancement.

THE UNIVERSITY
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette
The largest institution within the nine-campus University of Louisiana System The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has distinguished itself in many ways. Happiness is one of its most important characteristics. Happiness is not a typical feature of school mottos, but the University’s seal bears the Latin words Fortiter, Feliciter, Fideliter, and the English translation: “Boldly, Happily, Faithfully.” In fact, the Lafayette community is recognized as the happiest city and one of the best college towns in the U.S. UL Lafayette is more than a happy place, however. It’s an excellent place to learn. It’s one of the nation’s best academic institutions, according to the 2015 edition of “The Best 379 Colleges” published by the Princeton Review. The National Science Foundation recognized the University among the top 10 universities in the U.S. for its percentage of research and development expenditures funded by business. It leads the state as the university with the lowest average net price to attend. UL Lafayette also is among the top 10 percent of most affordable four-year public universities in the U.S. With more than 18,000 students, it is the largest institution within the nine-school University of Louisiana System and is the secondlargest university in Louisiana. The University awards bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. Its diverse offerings range from the humanities to scientific research, and it is a leader in areas such as computer science, engineering, architecture, biology and nursing. It offers the state’s only industrial design degree. It also is one of three universities in the world to offer a graduate degree in Francophone studies. Community service is valued. Each year, more LOUIS IAN A R AG I N ’ C A JUNS
than 5,000 students, faculty and staff contribute about 500,000 hours of direct community service. Their efforts make an economic impact of millions of dollars to the community. A wide range of cultural, recreational and social activities are available, on and off campus. With more than 150 campus organizations and clubs on campus, it’s easy for students to get involved. UL Lafayette is as unique as its location in the heart of Acadiana, a region known for its distinctive Cajun and Creole cultures, excellent / R agi nCaj unSof t bal l
food and music, and exceptional quality of life. The campus reflects the region’s beauty and natural resources. Cypress Lake, a microcosm of the nearby Atchafalaya Basin, skirts the Student Union. Although it’s called a lake, it’s actually a managed wetland. Teeming with alligators, turtles, birds and fish, it’s filled with moss-draped cypress trees, lush vegetation, and birdsong. Stately live oaks—several more than 100 years old—shade campus walkways. The Quadrangle is encircled by the “Walk of Honor,” a path paved with more than 80,000 bricks bearing the names of each University graduate, beginning with the first graduating class of 1903. The University Research Park, a 147-acre site adjacent to the athletic complex, is home to LITE, which stands for the Louisiana Immersive Technology Enterprise. LITE ’s striking design features a three-story, egg-shaped room made of glass. Three-dimensional images created by supercomputers are projected inside. LITE was established for economic development through a partnership formed by the University, the Lafayette Economic Development Authority and the State of Louisiana. Other tenants in Research Park include the U.S.G.S’s National Wetlands Research Center and the NOAA’s Estuarine Habitats and Coastal Fisheries Center. The University was founded on July 14, 1898, which coincidentally is French National Day, or Bastille Day. Known in French as Université des Acadiens (the University of the Acadians), UL Lafayette is an accomplished public research university.

ATHLETICS STAFF
Scott Farmer Director of Athletics
W
ith unparalleled success in the areas of athletics, academics, fundraising and increased exposure on the state and national level, Director of Athletics Scott Farmer is leading the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns athletic program through its finest era in the University’s rich history. Since being named the school’s Director of Athletics in October of 2011, Farmer has guided the Ragin’ Cajuns through a transformation that has touched on all facets of the program. The Ragin’ Cajuns have established themselves as one of the top athletic programs in the country by virtue of numerous NCAA postseason appearances and championships. During the past two years, the Ragin’ Cajuns have been ranked in the top 50 among all schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision in a poll by the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and released by CBSSports.com. In the latest poll released, the Ragin’ Cajuns were rated as the 44th-best athletic program in the country, finishing ahead of 25 schools that compete in the Power 5 conferences. After a record-setting year in 2013-14, in which five sports claimed conference championships, the Ragin’ Cajuns were rated as the 34th-best nationally, finishing as the top non-BCS school in the rankings. During the 2014-15 athletic year, the football team earned a fourth consecutive bowl championship (R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl), while women’s basketball claimed the 2015 Women’s Basketball Invitational title with four dramatic games on its home floor. The Ragin’ Cajuns also claimed Sun Belt Conference championships in both softball (regularseason) and baseball (SBC Tournament) with 8
2 01 6 S o ft b all M e d ia G u id e
both programs earning trips to both the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals for the second consecutive year - the only school in the nation to accomplish that feat. While 2014-15 was a successful year in the history of Ragin’ Cajuns athletics, the 2013-14 season was one for the ages as the department claimed a combined seven Sun Belt Conference titles and solidified the school’s label as the “Home of Champions.” Football kicked off that historic season as it claimed the Sun Belt Conference regular-season title along with its third straight victory in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. The Ragin’ Cajuns men’s basketball team claimed the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title after earning three hard fought victories in a 38-hour span at New Orleans’ Lakefront Arena, securing a berth in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championships. Men’s tennis spent the season ranked in the national polls before claiming the Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship and earning a berth in the NCAA Regionals. On the diamond, the baseball team claimed both the Sun Belt Conference regular-season and tournament championships, while setting a school-record for wins (58), earning a unanimous No. 1 ranking in the national polls, and hosting both the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals. And in the circle, the softball team won 49 games, claimed both the Sun Belt Conference regularseason and tournament crowns, hosted both the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals, and made a sixth appearance in the Women’s College World Series. While the Ragin’ Cajuns have experienced great success under Farmer’s watch on the competition field, it’s in the classroom where the @R agi nCaj unSB
results have been exemplary. Student-athletes have thrived in the classroom and have been provided the tools needed in obtaining their degrees under Farmer’s leadership. Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes have consistently set the bar academically, with the entire program enjoying 10 consecutive semesters of earning a combined grade point average of 2.8 or above. After setting cumulative GPA records in each semester during the 2013-14 academic year, Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes in the Fall 2014 semester produced the highest combined semester GPA in recorded history – a 3.056. With increased success in the classroom, Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes are on a solid track to graduate as evidenced by the annual Academic Progress Rate (APR). In 2015, all 16 Division I varsity sports exceeded the required 930 cutoff point with 12 sports scoring at 960 or above. And with sustained progress in the APR equals a Federal Graduation Rate for student-athletes that was ranked as the best among all schools in the state of Louisiana and the Sun Belt Conference during the 2013-14 academic year. With a solid understanding and experience in intercollegiate athletics, Farmer has set the course in improving the overall experience for all student-athletes, coaches and fans through improvements in external sources upon his arrival in Lafayette. He played an integral role in establishing the Ragin’ Cajuns Athletic Foundation in 2009. Since its formation, the RCAF continues to grow and works on enhancing the department’s annual operating budget while providing financial support to Louisiana’s 16 varsity programs. In 2014, Annual Fund donations increased 31 percent from the previous year, eclipsing the $2 million mark for the first time in history, finishing with a total of $2.16 million and surpassing the previous record of $1.67 million raised in 2013. Overall, donations to the RCAF surpassed $6.5 million in 2013. LOU I SI A N A R AGI N ’ CA J UN S
ATHLETICS STAFF Farmer was instrumental in the development of the University’s $115 million Athletic Facilities Master Plan, a three-tiered plan that was launched in 2013 and includes major facility improvements that will aid coaches and student-athletes in all 16 athletic programs. Tier One of the plan, which was completed in the fall of 2015, saw the addition of nearly 6,000 seats in the south end zone of Cajun Field, the addition of the Student-Athlete Performance Center and the renovation of the Ragin’ Cajuns Soccer/ Track Complex, that will feature office space and locker rooms for both programs. Tier Two will focus on the renovations towards Cajun Field and M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field, home of Ragin’ Cajuns baseball. Renovations to Cajun Field will ultimately increase capacity, while adding club seats, loge seats and box suites. A new multi-story structure that will be located on the west side of the stadium will house a Hall of Fame Musuem, a bookstore and cafeteria for students and over 23,000 square feet of office space for athletic administration. Improvements to “Tigue” Moore Field will increase capacity to approximately 4,500, including nearly 1,200 chair back seats. The addition of luxury suites, a club level and a new press box will make the “Tigue” an attractive venue to host NCAA Tournaments in the future. With major facility upgrades on the horizon, Farmer has coordinated facility improvements that included the addition of new artificial playing surfaces in Cajun Field, M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field and the Leon Moncla Indoor Practice Facility. Farmer has helped spearhead renovations at both Lamson Park, the home of the nationallyranked softball program, and the Cox Athletic Center. New scoreboards have been installed at the Culotta Tennis Center, Ragin’ Cajuns Soccer/Track Complex, and Lamson Park, while new video boards have been installed at both Cajun Field and Tigue Moore Field. Farmer has been responsible for the hiring of coaches Mark Hudspeth (football), Bob Marlin (men’s basketball), Garry Brodhead (women’s basketball) and Lon Badeaux (track), who have each created a winning culture in their respective programs and have recorded numerous team and individual honors. He has made Louisiana athletic events more accessible to fans by creating the Ragin’ Cajuns Network, which televises events on an annual basis into the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette markets. Farmer was also was instrumental in the expansion of the Ragin’ Cajuns Radio Network, which reaches every corner of the state of Louisiana during football season and has produced a twohour pre-game show, giving Ragin’ Cajuns fans greater ability to follow their team. Farmer has been the driving force behind the creation of GEAUX, the school’s football game day program that has grown to 116 pages of features, profiles, statistics and other information for Cajuns football fans. The program has sold out of its advertising space during the past four seasons dating back to 2012. In 2014, Farmer also helped broker a five-year partnership with Adidas, giving Ragin’ Cajuns student-athletes and coaches the ability to be associated with one of the most iconic athletic apparel providers in the world. Farmer has worked to more than double the number of football season tickets sold, from just under 4,800 when he arrived as Senior Associate Athletic Director in 2007 to a record 13,755 in 2014. His efforts in increasing ticket sales have helped attendance at nearly every Ragin’ Cajuns event reach an all-time high. For the 15th consecutive season, both baseball and softball led the Sun Belt in attendance while both programs have been LOUIS IAN A R AG I N ’ C A JUNS
consistently ranked among the top 10 programs in attendance at the national level. Since 2011, Louisiana has led the Sun Belt Conference in football attendance in three out of four years with the 2011 campaign seeing the Ragin’ Cajuns setting SBC records for average attendance (29,171), total attendance (145,854) and leading all schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision with an increased average attendance of 11,788. With a consistent winner on the gridiron, fans have flocked in record numbers to New Orleans to watch the team play in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, with the top four crowds in the bowl’s history. Farmer has also garnered success on the conference and NCAA level as he completed a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Softball Committee, serving as the chair in both 2011 and 2012. From 2012-14, Farmer served a three-year term representing the Sun Belt Conference on the prestigious NCAA Leadership Council, and recently completed a four-year term as chair of the Sun Belt Conference Athletic Directors. Farmer’s first two years as athletic director resulted in great success for the Ragin’ Cajuns. In 2011-12, eight of the 16 athletic programs advanced to postseason play in their respective sports, including football making its first bowl appearance since 1970 and men’s basketball hosting a postseason game on campus for the first time since 1985. Farmer came to UL Lafayette after eight years at Troy University where he served as Senior Associate Athletic Director from 1999-2007. He helped the Trojans make a successful transition from both the Atlantic Sun Conference and Southland Football League to the NCAA Division I-FBS level and into the Sun Belt Conference as an all-sports member. At Troy, Farmer oversaw a massive renovation of the athletic facilities, including an $18 million renovation of football’s Veterans Memorial Stadium, new facilities for softball, tennis, track and soccer plus facility upgrades for both basketball and baseball. A native of Ormond Beach, Fla., Farmer was a four-year letterman in swimming at Georgia Southern, being named the school’s male scholarathlete of the year in 1985. He received his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education in 1986 and a master’s in sports management in 1987. After graduating, Farmer began his career in athletics as head women’s swimming coach at Georgia Southern in 1986. He led the Eagles to eight conference titles in nine seasons, compiling a 65-25 record (.722) to become the winningest coach in program history. Promoted to a dual-position of assistant athletic director for sports programs, studentathlete services and event management in 1988, he left coaching following the 1995-96 season to concentrate on his duties overseeing studentathlete services. During his tenure at Georgia Southern – both as a student and as an administrator – the Eagles won four NCAA FCS (Division I-AA) football national championships. Farmer’s introduction to athletics came at an early age. His father, Bud Farmer, served as director of athletics and head swimming coach at Daytona Beach Community College (now Daytona State College) and was inducted into the National Junior College Swimming Hall of Fame in 2013. Farmer is married to the former Jackie Davis, a record-setting swimmer who he met at Georgia Southern. They are the parents of two children, a daughter, Kaitlin and a son, Kyle.

SUN BELT CONFERENCE
Is the Sun Belt Conference a modern-day fixture among the decision-makers in the everchanging world of college athletics? Or is the league a long-time innovator, responsible for advancements in many sports that we now take for granted? Is the Sun Belt home of an alumni base that includes national and international leaders in the areas of government, business and entertainment as well as athletics? Or is the conference one that has established itself as a national contender in a variety of sports, and one that continues to evolve in ways that directly benefit its institutions and more importantly its student-athletes? The answer is yes, yes, yes and yes. The Sun Belt Conference’s “Together We Rise” motto isn’t just hyperbole. It’s proven fact on many different levels, not the least being its place in the hierarchy of collegiate athletics. As the league prepares to celebrate four decades since its founding in 1976, the Sun Belt occupies a “seat at the table” as a permanent part of the NCAA’s 24-member Board of Directors. That alone insures that the conference has a voice in determining the future as college sports continues to change and evolve. Changing and evolving have been hallmarks of the league since its existence. College basketball might be a shadow of its current self had the Sun Belt not led the way in the establishment of the shot clock. The conference also wrote history at the start of the century when it inaugurated football as a league sport – becoming the first already-existing Division I conference to take such action. The Sun Belt was originally founded to give home to some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams, and the league’s history is dotted with success in many different men’s and women’s sports through its history. But when the desire for a higher national profile and the desire of its membership brought about football sponsorship in 2001, the conference 10 2 01 6 S o ft b all M e d ia G u id e
was figuratively reborn, and now stands as one of the 10 premier college football leagues in the country. And, with the recent debut of the College Football Playoff, the Sun Belt is guaranteed universal access based strictly on performance. A worthy football team in the Sun Belt can be in the national championship picture, and the league is a permanent part of the “Group of Five” conferences (joining the American Athletic Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA) that will send its highest-rated champion to a premier Jan. 1 bowl game. In only 15 years of football, the Sun Belt has earned ties to no fewer than seven bowl games. In addition to the potential of the College Football Playoff, the league has guaranteed spots in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl and the new Cure Bowl for bowl-eligible teams each and every season. Beginning in 2016, the Sun Belt will also be part of a conference rotation that will send teams to the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. No football conference in history has ever boasted as many bowl relationships in its first two decades of existence, but such breakthroughs have been the rule rather than the exception for a league that continues to exceed expectations. Just in the last three seasons, league members have recorded 52 non-conference wins including a record 21 victories outside the league in 2013. The Sun Belt also has a winning record over its fellow “Group of Five” conferences over the past two seasons, and has claimed three bowl victories in those two years. Gridiron success has grown in the league for several years, but success can also happen overnight. New league member Georgia Southern claimed the Sun Belt football title in its first year in the conference last fall. Appalachian State, another league newbie, rattled off six consecutive wins to close the 2014 football @R agi nCaj unSB

season and finish with a winning 7-5 record. Texas State has finished its two football seasons in the conference as a bowl eligible team, going 6-6 in its inaugural Sun Belt campaign and then 7-5 this past season. Football, though, is by no means the only hallmark of success for the league. Just this past season, Georgia State knocked off third-seeded Baylor in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and Little Rock defeated sixth-seeded Texas A&M in the women’s NCAA tournament. With the league’s postseason tournaments headed back to the conference’s home city, the “Big Easy” of New Orleans, and a plethora of standouts returning for this season, the league is poised for another successful hoops season. Baseball and softball continue to put the league in the national spotlight during the spring season, with deep runs into postseason play and high visibility in the national polls becoming a tradition. UL Lafayette’s baseball team was the nation’s No. 1 team in the final third of the 2014 season and has reached the NCAA Super Regional round each of the past two years, while the UL Lafayette softball team has advanced to the Super Regional four straight years including a trip to the 2014 College World Series. Many league sports have made statements on the national level, and that is a tribute to the university and athletic administrators that serve both the league institutions and the student-athletes at each school. That this level of success comes at a time of sweeping change in collegiate athletics adds even more to these accomplishments. With those changes, opportunities for studentathletes to succeed both on and off the field have never been greater, and the Sun Belt is well positioned in the areas of scholarship, student welfare and academic success. During the 2014-15 academic year alone, Sun Belt member institutions awarded nearly $50 million in scholarship funds to over 3,084 student-athletes while also contributing over $2 million from the Student Assistance Fund (SAF) to over 1,779 student-athletes. The league and its institutions rewrite the Sun Belt’s record book each year in grade-point averages and academic honors, and member schools’ success in the NCAA’s APR rankings provide even more proof of the league’s academic LOUIS IAN A R AG I N ’ C A JUNS
commitment. In 2015, the conference doubled the number of teams that received NCAA Public Recognition Awards, given to teams that post APR scores in the top 10 percent of their sport, as 14 teams were among the national honorees compared to seven in 2014. “We have never been as strong as we are now academically and financially, and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athletically,” said former Sun Belt Conference president and Troy University chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. recently. “I truly believe the best is yet to come.” The strength of any league lies in its membership, with the Sun Belt’s 11-school football membership including Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. Little Rock and UT Arlington compete in all sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football-only members. Those members give the Sun Belt a mix of the “old” and the “new”, with many long-time Sun Belt institutions continuing to have success and a solid corps of conference newcomers ready to make their marks on the league and national levels. The varied campuses and locations reflect another league strength – its diversity. The mix of regions and regional cultures provide a rare opportunity for the league’s student-athletes to experience many environments. But those same student-athletes can also experience that without leaving their own campuses. For every All-Pro linebacker DeMarcus Ware (Troy) and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Charles Tillman (Louisiana), and for every World Series MVP David Freese (South Alabama) coming from Sun Belt campuses, there are also U.S. presidents (Lyndon Johnson, Texas State), business icons (Chick-Fil-A president Daniel Cathy, Georgia Southern), nationally-known entertainers (Tim McGraw, UL Monroe, and Ludacris, Georgia State), and there is royalty (Miss America Debbye Turner, Arkansas State). These proud alumni, as well as the thousands of student-athletes and staff members at all of its institutions, are proof that the Sun Belt Conference continues to gain stature and provide the promise of future success with every sunrise. “Together We Rise” has never been more appropriate. / R agi nCaj unSof t bal l

Michael Lotief
Head Coach, 14th season (16th overall) Overall and at Louisiana: 638-159-1 (.800) Sun Belt Record: 231-44 (.840)
In 13 seasons as either head coach or co-head coach of the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns softball program, and 15 seasons overall, Michael Lotief has advanced to the NCAA tournament in every single one. Initially a volunteer coach from 2001-02, then a co-head coach with his wife Stefni from 2003-12, he took over the reigns as the sole head coach prior to the 2013 season. In 2014, Lotief guided the Ragin’ Cajuns to their sixth Women’s College World Series taking down national powers Texas and Arizona. Last year, he steered the program to its fourth straight NCAA Super Regional appearance and a fourth straight Top 15 finish in the final polls. Lotief has led his teams to over 40 wins in every season, eight seasons with 50-or-more victories, and a school-record 60 wins in 2004. Under his guidance as head coach, the Cajuns have advanced to three Women’s College World Series (2003, 2008 & 2014), six NCAA Super Regionals and 13 NCAA regionals. From 2002-2006, Lotief’s hitting system produced at least 70 home runs. In 2006, his hitting system wielded the first 100-home run season in school history (102). Three of his hitters - Danyele Gomez, Ashley Evans and Lacey Bertucci - ranked in the Top 10 of all NCAA Division I hitters. The 2015 squad raised the bar offensively, setting school records with 116 home runs and a .652 slugging percentage. Lexie Elkins led all levels of collegiate softball with a school-record 32 home runs. In Lotief’s system, Elkins has hit 56 home runs in two seasons (2014-15) after none as a freshman at Texas Tech in 2013. Through his 13 seasons as head coach, the Cajuns have hit 1,019 home runs, and drove in 4,519 runs with a .305 batting average. Prior to coaching at the Division I level, he coached the Louisiana Reflections, a summer program he was instrumental in developing. The Reflections won five consecutive state championships and made five national tournament appearances, winning the AFA 18-U National Championship in 2000. Over 20 high school players that he coached received Division I scholarships. A 1981 graduate of Teurlings Catholic High School in Lafayette, Lotief received his bachelor’s degree from Louisiana in 1985 and went on to earn his juris doctorate from LSU in 1988. He began his own law practice in 1992 and started coaching softball in 1994. He is married to former Ragin’ Cajuns co-head coach and All-American Stefni (Whitton) Lotief and the couple has two children, Chelsea and Andrew. Chelsea is currently a freshman on the Ragin’ Cajuns roster.

Record as Head Coach
Associate Head Coach, 1st season (4th overall) Chris Malveaux, who spent the past four seasons at Bradley, returned to the Ragin’ Cajuns softball coaching staff in July 2015 as associate head coach. He previously served as an assistant coach on Michael Lotief’s staff from 2009-11. Malveaux was part of the Louisiana coaching staff, along with Michael and Stefni Lotief, which was selected as the NFCA South Region Coaching Staff of the Year in 2010. In his four seasons at Bradley, the last as associate head coach, the Braves set numerous offensive records during his tenure highlighted by school season records for runs (261) home runs (41), RBI (237), total bases (635), slugging percentage (.410) and walks (171) in 2014. Before Bradley, Malveaux was a volunteer assistant in 2009 and full-time assistant from 2010-11 with the Ragin’ Cajuns. “Chris is like my brother…I was just in his wedding in December,” Louisiana softball head coach Michael Lotief said upon Malveaux’s return in July. “We have certainly spent a lot time together talking softball, especially during the three years we were on staff together, but our relationship started in the early 2000’s when we both were new to college softball. We’ve been on this journey together ever since.” During his first stint at UL, Malveaux helped Louisiana to three consecutive Sun Belt regular season and tournament titles in addition to three NCAA Tournament appearances. Before joining Lotief’s staff in 2009, Malveaux spent a seven-year stint at McNeese State that included serving as the Cowgirls’ head coach from 2005-08. He led the Cowgirls to four straight Southland Conference Tournament appearances during his tenure as head coach, winning the event in 2005. He was an assistant coach for three seasons (2002-04) at McNeese before taking over head coaching duties. A 2001 Texas A&M graduate, Malveaux was a student equipment manager for the Aggies softball team as an undergraduate and also coached the 18-and-under Texas Comets while in College Station, Texas. Malveaux married former Bradley Softball standout Kate Singler, who is currently serving as director of operations for the Ragin’ Cajuns, in December 2014.

DID YOU KNEAUX?? • On April 15, 1995, Tiffany Whittall set the NCAA record with 11 RBI against Samford. Whittall belted a pair of grand slams in the contest. Since then, the 11-RBI feat has only been matched two times. Stephanie Best of UCF did it against Army in 2003 and Dacia Hale of Louisiana Tech did it against Fresno State in 2012. • In 2006, Danyele Gomez led the nation in runs scored (77), home runs (30) and slugging percentage (.957). At that time, she was only the third player in NCAA history to reach 30 home runs in a single season. Presently, she remains one of only nine individuals to hit 30 home runs, a list that current Ragin’ Cajun Lexie Elkins joined in 2015. • Christi Orgeron hit an NCAA record six grand slams in 2012, tying Serena Settlemier of Kansas (2006). Nerissa Myers hit the third-most with four grand slams, also in 2012. Gabriele Bridges also hit four in a season, including a two-grand slam day in 2011. • Christi Orgeron’s nine career grand slams stood as the NCAA record from 2012 through the 2014 season, until Michigan’s Sierra Romero surpassed her by recording her 10th in the 2015 season. • Christi Orgeron ranks third all-time in the NCAA record books for RBI in a season with 101 in 2011. She is the only Ragin’ Cajuns softball player to surpass the 100-RBI mark. She is joined by Laura Espinoza (Arizona/1995), Jenny Dalton (Arizona/1996) and Leah Braatz (Arizona/1998) in the NCAA’s single-season 100-plus RBI club. 50 2 01 6 S o ft b all M e d ia G u id e

•
Brooke Mitchell holds the all-time record with 22 strikeouts in a game, a feat she achieved in a nine-inning game vs. Nevada at the McNeese Cowgirl Classic in 2004. Jordan Wallace holds the all-time record for strikeouts in a seven-inning game, fanning 18 batters against Middle Tennessee on April 18, 2013. It was just the 31st time in NCAA history that a pitcher fanned 18-or-more batters in a seven-inning game.
•
Brooke Mitchell’s 1,309 career strikeouts place her within the Top 25 of the NCAA career charts. She is the only Ragin’ Cajuns pitcher to surpass 1,000 career strikeouts. Her tally is the highest ever by a Sun Belt Conference pitcher, just ahead of Troy’s Ashlyn Williams’ 1,301 strikeouts.
•
Nerissa Myers set the all-time single season record for runs in Ragin’ Cajuns history in 2011 with 77, only to topple her own record in her junior season with 83. She added 52 in an injury-plagued senior campaign to set the career runs record of 243 runs. That marker places her tied for 21st all-time in the NCAA.
•
Defensively, Sarah Draheim took over the all-time lead in fielding percentage, making just eight errors in her career, collecting 1,339 putouts and adding 73 assists. She set the all-time record by mere ten-thousandths.
•
Lexie Elkins generated a school-record 32 home runs in 2015, besting Danyele Gomez’s mark of 30 set in 2006. Her total led all levels of collegiate softball and tied Camilla Carrera of UTEP for the second-most hit in a season in NCAA history. Elknis’ per game average (0.59) fell just short of the NCAA record pace of 0.60 by Carrera in 2012.

NCAA Tournament Results 1990 - NCAA Regional VII Lamson Park (Lafayette, La.): A Ragin’ Cajuns team of firsts - which hosted the first-ever NCAA postseason event in Lafayette - finished one run short of an invitation to the College World Series in 1990. A 10-inning, 2-1 loss to Florida State in the regional championship wasn’t fitting for a team that had its highest ranking ever (No. 7), its first-ever first team All-American and its first-ever National Coach of the Year.

2003 - Women’s College World Series Hall of Fame Stadium (Oklahoma City, Okla.): The Cajuns returned to the WCWS for the first time in seven years. Louisiana became the first school to represent the Sun Belt Conference in the WCWS. The appearance will best be remembered for Danyele Gomez’s mammoth home run shot off of Texas’ Cat Osterman.

2014 - NCAA Women’s College World Series Hall of Fame Stadium (Oklahoma City, Okla.): Louisiana appeared at the Women’s College World Series for the third time under head coach Michael Lotief and sixth time in school history. Lexie Elkins homered in the Cajuns half of the first against Kentucky to tie the game. A leadoff double in the top of the second inning set up UK for the go-ahead run. Kelsey Nunley then retired eight retired straight Cajuns from the second through fourth. In the elimination game, Oklahoma took a 2-0 lead in the first inning off a double by Brittany Williams. UL threatened in third (bases loaded) and in the fifth after the Natalie Fernandez and Haley Hayden singled. Both times, OU’s Kelsey Stevens escaped.

2015 - NCAA Lafayette Regional Lamson Park (Lafayette, La.): For the second consecutive season, and third time in the past four, the Ragin’ Cajuns hosted a regional at Lamson Park after receiving the No. 13 seed in the 2015 NCAA Tournament. The Cajuns coasted by Weber State in the opener, following Christina Hamilton’s four hitless innings to an 11-0 (5 inn.) win. In a much-anticipated matchup with Baylor in the winner’s bracket final, the Cajuns scored three runs in their final two at bats to erase a 1-0 deficit. After Baylor avoided elimination in the first game of the championship round, Louisiana scored the first five runs of the winner-take-all finale and never looked back in picking up the program’s 10th NCAA Regional title.
