South Alabama women’s basketball takes on Louisiana at the Mitch.

My logo

The South Alabama women’s basketball team has another tough task in front of it. The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns come to the Mitchell Center. They will play in the 1st game of a men’s and women’s double header Saturday February 11th. The Jags are now just trying to play for seeding.

The Jags could still, believe it or not, get to the middle seeds. They will have to win out and get a little bit of help. Even though it’s highly unlikely, South Alabama could get hot at the right time, and put a few more wins together and get to a 10-12 seed in the Sun Belt Conference tournament. Right now the Jags sit as the 14th seed which is good for last place in the conference.

Louisiana comes to Mobile with a 14-11 overall record and 8-5 in the SBC. The Ragin Cajuns are led by…

Tamera Johnson- 12.0 PPG and 7.3 RPG

Laney Wheaton- 11.7 PPG and 3.9 RPG

Louisiana is averaging 58.8 points per game. The Cajuns are shooting 37% from the floor and 26 % from behind the three point line. Louisiana is averaging 35.4 rebounds per game.

The South Alabama Jaguars are led by…

Kelsey Thompson- 9.5 PPG and 4.1 RPG

Kiana Anderson- 7.7 PPG and 5.6 RPG

Nadia Howard- 7.0 PPG and 3.7 RPG.

The Jags this season are averaging 55.5 points per game, and are shooting 33% overall. South Alabama is shooting 27% from behind the 3 point line while averaging 37.3 rebounds per game.

Like I stated earlier, the Jags have their work cut out for them, but the job is not impossible. The Jags have a 6-18 record overall and are only 2-11 in the Sun Belt with just 5 conference games remaining. After today the Jags will have 2 road games at Arkansas State and at Texas st. Also there will be two home games remaining vs Georgia Southern and finishing the regular season vs Troy.

My logo

The South Alabama Softball team opened the 2023 season at the NFCA Leadoff Classic. The results were not what the Jags hoped to have. The experience gained against 2 very good teams is priceless.

Brasher would come around to score tying the game 1-1. Odalys Cordova would ground out on the 1st pitch to end the inning.

Jenna Hardy would make the start for the Jags. She pitched 4 2/3 innings only giving up the one run, striking out 8 on 83 pitches. Olivia Lackie would come in the game and keep it tied until extra innings.

In the top of the 8th, Lackie would run into trouble, giving up 3 runs (1 earned) on two hits and and an error, only recording 1 out. Hardy would return to pitch and get the final 2 outs. Louisville led 4-1.

In the bottom of the eighth the Jags would get only 1 run the final score 4-2.

In game two #6 Northwestern took on the Jags. Jenna Hardy got the start and held Northwestern scoreless she ran into trouble in the top of the 5th. After getting two quick outs, Hardy would then give up 4 runs ( 3 runs on a triple).

Olivia Lackey would come in and give up a double and get the final out in the top of the 5th. Jags would trail 4-1.

The Jag bats would answer right back in the bottom of the 5th. Gabby Stagner would lead off the inning with a five pitch walk. With 2 outs Marley Sims would single to left, advancing Stagner to second. Mackenzie Brasher would follow with a single to center scoring Stagner. Meredith Keel was hit a 1-1 pitch loading the bases. Sasha Willem would then double to left field, clearing the bases for 3 RBI’s and a Jag lead at 5-4. Odalys Cordova would ground out to shortstop to end the inning.

Lackie would hold the lead, until the top of the 7th. She would record just one out and give up 4 earned runs. Madison Langley would come in for Lackie and get record the remaining two outs.

The Jags would go pretty quietly in the bottom of the 7th to end the game. Final Jags fall to #6 Northwestern 8-5.

Olivia Lackie picked up both tough luck losses for the Jags on day one. She is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA in just 5 innings.

Saturday it doesn’t get any easier. The Jags take on St John’s at 12:30 pm, who are also 0-2 after losing to both #20 Kentucky and and #21 Auburn on Friday, and then Jags will play #12 Tennessee at 3pm. The Volunteers are 2-0 after beating Illinois and Howard on Friday.
