Lopez leads McNeese St. in hitting

LAKE CHARLES – McNeese softball was scheduled to begin a four-game home stand beginning Tuesday with a 6:30 p.m. game against No. 15 LSU. But it was canceled.
North Vermilion graduate Kaylee Lopez currently leads the Cowgirls with a .310 batting average with 26 hits, seven doubles and 11 RBI.
Lopez, a power hitter in high school, has yet to hit a home run in her three years playing for McNeese.
The home stand will continue with a three-game Southland Conference series against Abilene Christian beginning Friday.
McNeese (19-21) was coming off a 2-1 Southland Conference series loss at Southeastern La. over the weekend where the Cowgirls dropped Friday’s doubleheader 3-2 in both contests. The Cowgirls ended the weekend on a positive note by taking the series finale by a 3-1 score.
