The Cowgirls are a member of the Southland Conference and participate in NCAA Division I college softball. The team is currently led by head coach James Landreneau and plays home games at Joe Miller Field at Cowgirl Diamond. HistoryThe first season for McNeese State Cowgirl softball was 1979. The Cowgirls competed as an independent for the first four seasons. The team won the Louisiana championship two of those seasons (1979, 1981). After softball became an NCAA and Southland Conference sponsored sport, the Cowgirls have competed in the conference and at the Division I (NCAA) level. The Cowgirls have won six Southland Conference regular season championships (1983, 1994 (T), 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017) and six Southland Conference tournament championships (1983, 2005, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018) earning the conference's autobid to the NCAA Division I softball tournament in 2005 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018. The team also competed in the 1994 NCAA tournament as an at-large selection. As of the conclusion of the 2018 season, the Cowgirls have compiled a 1041–1048–4 overall record with an overall conference record of 406–346–3.[1][2] Erika Piancastelli is McNeese State’s first and only All-American. She was named an NFCA All-American in 2016. Career coaching records Coach | Number of seasons | Overall record | Winning percentage |
