Cowgirls Look To “Nail It Down” In 2014 McNeese State won the program’s third overall Southland Conference title and tied a program record with 38 wins in 2013 after posting a 38-15 record. Head coach Mike Smith also picked up his 700th career win and was named the Southland’s Coach of the Year. The Cowgirls’ season ended with back-to-back dissappointing losses in the Southland Conference Tournament, thus making the 2014 motto “Nail It Down”. This season, McNeese wants to finish what they feel got away from them last season and that was to advance to the NCAA Tournament, a goal for the Cowgirls every season. Players also broke records in 2013. Outfielder Alanna DiVittorio broke the single season walks record and also became the career leader in that category. DiVittorio also tied the single season record with 48 runs scored. The Cowgirls return all of their starters including pitcher Jamie Allred. In the circle, pitchers Meagan Bond and Jamie Allred both won 18 games apiece. Bond became McNeese’s all-time career victories leader, ending her stellar career with 67 wins. Bond ended the season ranked fourth in the nation with the least amount of walks (0.75) per seven innings. Bond also ranked ninth nationally with a 1.27 ERA. Allred capped off her rookie season ranked 20th in the nation in walks (1.11) per seven innings. McNeese will play five teams that participated in the 2013 NCAA Tournament including Alabama, the 2012 National Champs. Six opponents are ranked in the 2014 USA Today/NFCA Top 25 preseason poll and three other teams received votes in the preseason poll.

The Cowgirls will take part in four tournaments and will open the season at the South Alabama Mardi Gras Invitational. McNeese will face the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Austin Peay, South Alabama, and, Syracuse. “Our schedule is one that can help our RPI and potentially help us with postseason if we can get some big wins against non-conference teams. Our first month of the season is very important for us and we need to play well, gain confidence, and compete in the “big game” experience,” said head coach Mike Smith. The following week, McNeese will play in the Texas A&M Aggie Classic where they will play Tulsa, Texas A&M and Oregon State. McNeese will return home for the only time in the month of February to host Stephen F. Austin in a non-conference doubleheader Feb. 19 in its home opener. The Cowgirls will head back to Alabama Feb. 21-23 to take part in the University of Alabama Bama Bash for its third consecutive tournament. This tournament will also consist of teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament last year. The Cowgirls will face Central Florida and Virginia Tech before concluding tournament play against the 2012 National Champs, Alabama. The Cowgirls will conclude their regular season tournament play at the North Texas Best Western Classic (March 1-2).
