Louisville, Ky. – The SAU Softball team remained on top of the NFCA Division II Poll, the organization announced this morning. This is the fourth consecutive poll that the Muleriders are the top-ranked team, having started the streak in March of last year when they finished on top of the final two polls.

The Muleriders opened their season with a pair of emphatic wins over Delta State, scoring 29 runs over the two games, while only allowing five runs.

The offensive effort saw Sarah Evans named GAC Player of the Week for the first time in her career.

The Muleriders received 399 of 400 possible points and 15 of 16 possible first-place votes; additionally, the Muleriders are the only GAC team to feature in the poll.

The Muleriders have a pair of top-ten double-headers on their schedule in the next week, with a trip to 7^th-ranked Texas A&M-Commerce on Friday before hosting 9^th-ranked Angelo State next Tuesday.

The Muleriders open their conference slate next weekend with a trip to Weatherford to take on Southwestern Oklahoma State.
