SCOUTING THE COMPETITION UL MONROE Under the direction of first year head coach Corey Lyon, the UL Monroe Warhawks enter the weekend with a 19-7 overall record and 4-1 mark in Sun Belt Conference play.
LAST TIME OUT FOR TXST Texas State is coming off of a non-conference sweep over former Southland Conference foe Stephen F. Austin. The Bobcats won game one by a score of 1-0 in eight innings before run-ruling the Lady Jacks by a score of 9-0 in game two.
The Warhawks lone loss this conference season was to No. 23 South Alabama by a 2-0 margin. In the first game of the doubleheader, the Warhawks run-ruled the Jaguars.
MAKE THAT TWO! With a 5-for-6 showing with five RBI and four walks against Georgia Southern, junior Kendall Wiley earned her second Player of the Week nod of the season. Her POW against the Eagles was the third time this season that a Bobcat had been recognized.
Rochelle Roberts and Alexis Cacioppo lead the way for the Warhawks offensively, averaging .432 and 431, respectively. ULM is averaging .319 as a team and are third in the nation with 84 stolen bases on 98 attempts.
Her first POW honor came at the Madeira Beach Classic where Wiley was the offensive spark for Texas State after launching six home runs in six games.
Melanie Coyne has put in the most work in the circle for the Warhawks and owns a team-low 1.86 ERA. Her opponents are averaging .223 and she has struck out a team-high 53 batters.
Against Robert Morris, Wiley hit three home runs, the most home runs in a game by a Sun Belt Conference member since the 2013 season.
In the first conference series of the season, the Warhawks swept the Appalachian State Mountaineers.
She now has eight home runs this season, putting her in the top eight all-time in Texas State history. The record for home runs in a season by a single player is 13.
