LAKE CHARLES-  McNeese softball will conduct its first team practice on Monday (tomorrow) in preparation for the 2020 season that will begin on Feb. 7 in its own Cowgirl Classic.
 
The Cowgirls will take the field at 10:30 a.m. for team hitting then will return at 4:30 p.m. for team defense. This will be the Cowgirl practice schedule through this Friday.
 
McNeese returns 16 letterwinners including seven returning position starters and four pitchers, all who appeared in at least 15 games last season.
 
The Cowgirls are coming off a 33-32 overall record in 2019 that saw McNeese finish third in the Southland Conference race and making it all the way to the semifinal game of the SLC Tournament. The Cowgirls earned a postseason berth in the NISC where their season came to an end in a 10-inning, 4-3 loss to Texas-Arlington in the Regional Championship game.
