article Wrote:Due to inclement weather in the Louisville, Ky. area, the 2004 Conference USA Softball Tournament has been postponed until Saturday.

Game seven featuring No. 3 seed USF and fifth-seeded Houston was halted on Friday evening in the bottom of the third inning and will resume Saturday at 9 a.m. at Ulmer Stadium. The Cougars are leading the Bulls, 5-0, with two outs in the bottom of the third.

The game was supposed to resume at 9 am today, but the C-USA website says the softball tourney is still in rain delay (right now it's 1:30 pm Houston time).

Rain, rain, go away...

The Coogs polished off USF 7-3 to advance to the championship game. The game should be tomorrow at a time yet to be determined.

Let's go Coogs!!!

It looks like we will be facing Depaul in the championship game. During the season we went 1-2 against them, but this is a whole new ball game!!!

Yeah, I saw that on the C-USA site earlier!

Actually, I meant to post it because there was a funny typo -- they had something about #5-seeded Houston facing the winner of #4 DePaul vs. #6 Houston, where it should've said #6 ECU. (Having just woken up from a nap, I was a teeny bit confused at first. LOL)

GO COOGS!!

Well it is a bad news good news day for the softball team.

The bad news is that we lost to Depaul 4-2. :crying:

The good news is we still got an invite to the NCAA tourney. :D We will be the fourth seed at the Waco regional. They will battle Seton Hall at 3:00 on Thursday.

Here is a list of all the teams in the regional

Region No. 3 - May 20-23 at Waco, Texas
No. 1 seed LSU (50-10)
No. 2 seed Illinois (41-19-1)
*No. 3 seed Baylor (45-14)
No. 4 seed Seton Hall (44-17)
No. 5 seed Houston (38-22)
No. 6 seed North Carolina (43-20)
No. 7 seed Texas-San Antonio (37-15)
No. 8 seed Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (39-19)

Way to go softball team!!!!!

Baylor is hosting as a #3 seed?! That seems weird.

Well, at least it'll be easier travel for the Coogs. Eat 'em up!

Here is the write up on Houston from the C-USA Softball round up

Quote:HOUSTON (38-23, 12-11 C-USA): The Cougars will make their first trip to the NCAA Tournament after earning an at-large bid. UH is prepared for the caliber of competition as it has posted three victories over nationally-ranked opponents this season. The Cougs will face Big East champion Seton Hall (44-17) on May 20 in Waco, Texas at 3 p.m. Houston also made it to the championship round of the C-USA Tournament for the first time last weekend where it fell, 4-2, to three-time champion DePaul. ARELIS FERRERIS, BROOKE JOHNSON, JENILEE SKENDER, and CRYSTAL BRISCOE all made the C-USA All-Tournament Team for leading their squad to the title game.

Congratulations Arelis, Brooke, Jenilee, and Crystal on making the All-Tournament team.

Let's make some noise in the NCAA Tourney!!!!

Way to go, ladies! Time to go make the Big East look bad. GO COOGS!

BTW - does anyone know if there'll be a gametracker or some other way to keep tabs on the game? Oh, and it's 3 pm Texas time, yes?

On UHCougars.com, there is the gametracker link next to game. The time still says 3:00 so I would assume that it is 3:00 central. We wouldn't put misinformation on our own website would we?

Never! :D

Thanks for the info. :thumb:
