LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns softball team held steady at No. 7, remaining in the Top 10 for the sixth straight week, as the national polls were unveiled on Tuesday.

USA Today/NFCA Top 25 poll
ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 poll
Â
Louisiana (21-3, 6-1 Sun Belt) is ranked No. 7 in both the USA Today/NFCA and ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 poll. It's the third straight week at No. 7 in both polls. The Cajuns, preseason ranked No. 9, have been as high as No. 5 in the NFCA listing (Feb. 24) and No. 6 in ESPN/USA Softball (Feb. 24).
Â
The current run of six straight weeks in the Top 10 is the program's longest stretch in the NFCA poll since a 10-week stretch in 2012 (March 6-May 15). It's the lengthiest stretch in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll since a nine-week stretch (March 12-May 7), also in 2012.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns are joined in the Top 10 of the NFCA poll by five SEC schools (Florida, LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Auburn), Oregon (Pac-12), Michigan (Big 10), Oklahoma (Big 12) and Florida State (ACC).
Â
In addition to Louisiana, the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 10 includes four SEC schools (Florida, LSU, Alabama, Georgia), two Pac-12 schools (Oregon, UCLA), Michigan (Big 10), Oklahoma (Big 12) and Florida State (ACC).
Â
Future ranked opponents for Louisiana include: No. 2/3 Oregon (April 24-25) and No. 16/13 Baylor (April 10-11).
Â
Louisiana is presently in the midst of a nine-game homestand at Lamson Park, which began with a three-game Sun Belt Conference sweep of UT Arlington last weekend.
Â
The Cajuns are back in action on Tuesday, March 17 with a 4 p.m., series-closing doubleheader against Georgia Southern. Following Tuesday's twinbill, Louisiana closes out the homestand with a Sun Belt series against Troy scheduled for Saturday-Sunday, March 21-22.
