Beat me to it. Lets look at those stats again.
Player: | avg | gp-gs | ab | r | h | 2b | 3b | hr | rbi | tb | slg% | bb | hbp | so | gdp | ob% | sf | sh | sb-att | po | a | e | fld%
Player #1 (Hayden): |.337 | 49-49 | 169 | 55 | 57 | 10 | 1 | 14 | 50 | 111 |.657 | 19 | 6 | 16 | 1 | .421 | 1 | 0 | 5-6 | 67 | 3 | 1 | .986
Player #2 (Roberts): | .341 | 47-40 | 123 | 23 | 42 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 12 | 50 | .407 | 13 | 0 | 19 | 0 | .404 | 0 | 3 | 18-22 | 52 | 4 | 4 | .933
So glad the voters of the NFCA aren't a bunch of petty fools like some of the Sun Belt coaches.
They should be ashamed.

Happens in a lot sports, and ULL has been the beneficiary of some of those votes.

Name one. Not saying it has not happened, but find one for us where a Cajun player was named POY or FOY while being clearly outperformed by another player on a successful team in the Conference. If you are going to make an argument, come with facts.

Since the coaches were clearly trying to avoid giving UL all of the top honors they could've done it with a category that was a little less obvious.
Hayden was FOY, so much so that she is amongst the top 10 freshmen in the country according to the NFCA. But you could make an argument for either USA pitcher for pitcher of the year over Hamilton. If the coaches are so insecure that they can't stand the thought of one team sweeping the awards, then they should have at least given the award to a deserving player.

There you go. If H. Campbell had been named Pitcher of the Year, you would not have heard a peep from Cajun fans.

Happened in men's golf this year if I remember correctly.

Hayden got the the Cajuns off on the right foot Saturday with a solo homer in the first inning. She is a great player, freshman or otherwise.

We also appreciate the commitments of all the Smith children from Ruston, as well as incoming freshmen Allie Medlin from West Monroe (West Ouachita HS) next year.
