The McNeese Women's softball team lost their opening round game yesterday in the 2015 Southland Conference Tournament to third seeded Central Arkansas when the lady bears surprised the Cowgirls beating them 6-2. The cowgirls will need to rebound from yesterdays loss and win today at 1:30 or they will head home.
Northwestern must hate to play the McNeese State Cowboys. The Pokes put together a 35 point first half last night and held on to beat the Demons for the 10th straight time.
The McNeese State Cowboys broke out the brooms at home this weekend. The sweep of Incarnate Word left the Cowboys just two games behind league leader Nicholls State.
Texas A&M were set to welcome the McNeese Cowboys for their home opener on Aug. 30, but word broke Wednesday that the Aggies have broken that contract to play Louisiana Tech instead. The move has left McNeese scrambling to fill the hole in their schedule and could put the Cowboys facing off against a conference rival twice in the same season.
