BOCA RATON, Fla. – Louisiana Tech opens Conference USA play this weekend as the Lady Techsters face Florida Atlantic in a three-game series Friday through Sunday.
Tech (15-8) and FAU (11-13) will play Friday at 5 p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at 12 p.m. with all game times listed as central standard time. The games can be seen streamed online through a paid subscription to CUSA.tv.
The Lady Techsters are coming off an impressive showing in Baton Rouge last weekend when they won four out of six games, including a pair of impressive victories over Troy.
Tech has won with pitching and defense. The Lady Techsters staff has a 2.12 earned run average with Audrey Pickett (9-3, 1.55 ERA), Lauren Menzina (2-2, 2.66) and Emma Hutchinson (4-3, 2.93) combining for 89 strikeouts and only 54 walks this year.
The Lady Techster defense ranks No. 1 in the country in double plays turned with 16 and seventh nationally in double plays per game at 0.70 per contest. After a slow start to the season, the Techster defense has been solid over the last few weeks.
Offensively, Tech is led by Sierra Sacco (.419, 22 runs, 10-12 SB), Caroline Easom (.323, 13 runs, 20 RBI), Brooke Diaz (.294, 4 HR, 19 RBI) and Katelin Cooper (.286, 12 runs, 7-7 SB).
