Fico has already tossed 10 shutouts No. 22 North Carolina (Feb. 8), Tulsa (Feb. 9), North Dakota State (Feb. 15), Virginia (Feb. 16), Ohio State (Feb. 22), No. 14 Arizona (Feb. 23), Mississippi State (March 10), Georgia Southern (March 19), South Carolina (March 22) and Samford (March 30). Fico collected her second career no-hitter during the Ohio State game, her only other no-hitter was five-inning perfect game versus Southeastern Louisiana (Feb. 15, 2011). Fico become the fourth pitcher in program history to surpass 700 career strikeouts during the series opener versus No. 17 Kentucky (March 15). She joins the illustrious company of former All-Americans Britni Sneed ( ), Kristin Schmidt ( ) and Emily Turner ( ). Fico currently has totaled 771 Ks and has already passed former All-American Brittany Mack ( ) and Dani Hofer ( ) on the program s strikeout list during the 2013 season. Fico enters the Alabama series seven strikeouts away from tying Turner for third place. Fico turned in a memorable performance and notched a program single-game record with 22 strikeouts versus Mississippi State (March 10). The 22 Ks also equaled former Tennessee All-American Monica Abbott s SEC single-game mark and enabled Fico to notch her second SEC Pitcher of the Week award of the season. Fico claimed her 69th career victory, a two-hit shutout of Georgia Southern (March 19), to move past Ashley Lewis ( ) for fourth place on LSU s all-time list. GEORGIA SOUTHERN MARCH 19 W, 3-2 LSU erased another 2-0 deficit, this time during the bottom of the first inning. A.J. Andrews and Allison Falcon set the table with a walk and infield single. With two outs, Kellsi Kloss provided the equalizer and lifted a two-run single to right centerfield to even the ledger at 2-2. The Tigers took a 3-2 lead in the third inning. Falcon coaxed a leadoff walk and hustled her way around the bases on Bianka Bell s double into the left centerfield gap. AT FLORIDA STATE APRIL 3 W, 5-4 LSU charged back from a 3-0 hole after two innings of play. The Tigers struck for two runs in the LSU rallied for a pair of runs during the third inning. The bottom of the lineup set the table for the Tigers as Lauren Houston and Simone Heyward connected back-to-back singles. A.J. Andrews coaxed a walk to load the bases. Two batters later, Bell lifted a sacrifice fly to left centerfield. The Tigers also scored via an illegal pitch to cut the deficit down to 3-2. LSU added two more runs by using some two-out magic in the fourth inning. Once again, it was Houston and Heyward who reached base with a hit batter and an infield single, respectively. Andrews cranked a two-run double on a 1-1 offering to the centerfield wall to vault the Tigers ahead 4-3. She equaled a career-best three as LSU held on for the 5-4 win. AT ARKANSAS APRIL 7 W, 5-4 LSU wiped away its largest deficit of the season, a 4-0 hole, with a three-run fifth followed by a two-run sixth inning. Jacee Blades, Bianka Bell and Allison Falcon picked up in the fifth with a pair of singles and a sacrfice fly. With two outs in the sixth, Simone Heyward worked her way back from a 0-2 count to draw a walk. She raced around the bases on A.J. Andrews RBI triple to right field. A wild pitch enabled Andrews to cross the plate with the game-winning run. RULE THE DAY: 2013 LSU SOFTBALL u PAGE 8 u 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, WIN SEASONS

The seven runs allowed by Fico during the South Alabama game was the second-most this season only behind a career-high nine runs versus No. 10 Oregon (March 1). Fico joined former All-American Britni Sneed along with Ashley Lewis as the only three pitchers in program history to notch a trio of 20-win seasons during their careers. Fico added a pair of wins at No. 10 Texas A&M (April 13 & 14). She retired six of the seven batters she faced fueled by four strikeouts in her two innings of relief during the middle game. Fico will look to bounce back from consecutive setbacks to No. 12 Missouri (April 19 & 21). She has won her last two starts versus Alabama during the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Meghan Patterson has posted a 6-2 mark with a staff-low 1.61 ERA. She tossed a pair of complete game shutouts, a three-hitter versus Purdue (Feb. 8) along with a four-hitter against Nicholls State (Feb. 17). In her last start, Patterson fired a complete game effort at Mc- Neese State (April 17). She sat down 11 of the last 13 batters she faced and limited the Cowgirls to one run on three hits. Patterson came away with seven strikeouts and threw 6.2 frames of four-hit ball against Southeastern Louisiana (March 26). Patterson recorded a season s best eight Ks versus Nicholls State (Feb. 17) and Georgia Southern (March 19). She has been LSU s Saturday starter during two of the first three SEC weekends. Patterson was the tough-luck loser in a 2-1 decision at Mississippi State (March 9). In her second career SEC start, she was handed a no-decision after she allowed two runs on three hits and totaled five Ks over her 5.2 frames of action. Ashley Czechner has won all nine of her decisions and been used both as a starter (11x) and in relief (4x). She has collected wins over Hampton (Feb. 9), UNLV (Feb. 22), Syracuse (March 1), Penn State (March 2), Nicholls State (March 13), No. 17 Kentucky (March 17, South Carolina (March 23), Samford (March 30) and No. 12 Missouri (April 19). Czechner tossed a pair of one-hit shutouts versus Nicholls State (March 13) and South Carolina (March 23). She retired 11 of her last 12 batters she faced during the South Carolina game. Czechner also recorded a solid start to wrap up the series versus No. 17 Kentucky (March 17). She went the distance and held the Wildcats to two runs on two hits. Czechner matched a season s best eight strikeouts during game two of the Samford doubleheader (March 30). In her first SEC road start, Czechner provided 6.1 innings of fourhit ball during the middle game of the Arkansas series (April 6). She left the contest with a 3-2 lead before the Razorbacks rallied for two runs. Czechner once again went six-plus innings and registered a no decision at No. 10 Texas A&M (April 10). She came away with five strikeouts and allowed just two runs entering the 7th inning. Czechner logged a two-hit shutout of No. 12 Missouri (April 20). It was the first time on the season and a span of 54 games that Missouri had been held without a run.

11 2012 SEASON SERIES NO. 2 ALABAMA 6, NO. 24 LSU 0 04/06 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. No. 2 Alabama halted the No. 24 LSU softball team season s best 12-game winning streak and emerged with a 6-0 decision in-front of a season-high 3,266 fans at Rhoads Stadium. The Tigers (28-9, 10-2 SEC) committed two critical errors that opened the door to a quartet of Crimson Tide (36-1, 13-1 SEC) runs. Brittany Mack was handed her first loss since March 3, which ended a run of nine straight wins for the senior right-hander. She was touched up for six runs, four earned, on five hits. Mack notched five strikeouts against four walks and dropped to 12-5 on the season. Jackie Traina went the distance for Alabama and tallied eight strikeouts against three free passes en route to her eighth shutout. The sophomore right-hander has won all 22 of her decisions in LSU s offense had eight of its nine starters reach base and eight base runners in the first four innings. A.J. Andrews, Jacee Blades, Allison Falcon and Tammy Wray all ripped singles. The Tigers best opportunity to score came in the third inning after Falcon s hit loaded the bases with two outs. However, Ashley Applegate grounded out to first base. She had her career-long six-game hitting streak come to a close. We didn t play very good defense and made some mistakes, head coach Beth Torina said. The errors and leadoff walks made the score a lot worse that it was. Obviously, Alabama is a very quality opponent and a team that will take advantage of extra opportunities. There were some things that we couldn t have done to make it a better ball game. The Crimson Tide was aided by a Kayla Braud leadoff walk followed by two infield singles to fill the bases during the first inning. A checkswing groundout off the bat of Kaila Hunt allowed the first run to score. Two batters later with runners on second and third base, Jazlyn Lunceford coaxed a free pass. Jennifer Fenton started to move towards the plate. LSU catcher Lauren Houston scooted down the third base line to attempt to tag Fenton for the frame s third out, but she threw the ball past third baseman Tammy Wray s head on the failed pickoff attempt. That allowed Fenton to cross the plate to make it 2-0. Alabama used a Fenton opening walk, two stolen bases and another Hunt RBI ground out to push its lead to 3-0 after three innings. Traina tacked on a three-run homer in the sixth inning. It was one of only two balls to leave the infield versus Mack. Earlier in the frame, the Crimson Tide was the beneficiary of an Ashleigh Kuhn throwing error on a force play at second base. Traina sat down the last 10 batters she faced in the circle to secure the 6-0 win. Timely hitting was the key, and we ve been getting that timely hit lately, Torina said. Give credit to Traina because she made big pitches when she needed to. We have to make sure that we do a better job tomorrow when the same opportunities present themselves.

12 2012 SEASON SERIES NO. 24 LSU 3, NO. 2 ALABAMA 2, 04/07 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The No. 24 LSU softball used a solid effort in all three phases of the game to even the series and pick up a hard-fought 3-2 victory over No. 2 Alabama in-front of a Rhoads Stadium record crowd of 3,521 spectators. The Tigers (29-9, 11-2 SEC) ended a 13-game regular season winning streak by the home team in the series dating back to the 2007 season and drew even with Alabama (36-2, 13-2 SEC) in the loss column at the top of the SEC Western Division standings. LSU has won four of the last five meetings with the Crimson Tide. It also marked the Tigers first win in Tuscaloosa since a 3-2 decision on April 15, Alabama was dealt just their second loss of the season joining a 5-2 setback against then-no. 11 Tennessee on March 21. This was definitely one of our best games from start to finish that we ve played all season, head coach Beth Torina said. Of course to beat a great team like Alabama, that s the type of effort you have to play with for seven innings. It was huge for us to play ahead in such a hostile environment. When we ve been able to jump on the scoreboard early, it puts us in a great mindset for the rest of the game. In the circle, Rachele Fico grinded her way to the complete game victory. The junior right-hander was just touched up for a quartet of hits and both of Alabama s runs came via solo home runs. She notched nine strikeouts versus three walks and improved to 14-4 on the season. Rachele definitely got better as the game wore on, Torina said. She made the necessary adjustments according to things Alabama was hitting early in the game. I believe the ability to continue to give them different looks was the key to her magnificent pitching performance. Ashley Langoni vaulted the Tigers ahead by a 2-0 margin during the first inning and cranked a two-run shot that sailed over the fence down the left field line. It was Langoni s team-leading sixth dinger of the season and 29th career homer which puts her one away from tying Quinlan Duhon ( ) for fourth place on LSU s all-time list. The Tigers held Alabama without a run in the home half of the frame aided by catcher Morgan Russell, who threw out Jennifer Fenton attempting to steal second base. It marked the first time Fenton was mowed down on the base paths since March 13, 2010, a span of a NCAA-record 74 consecutive steals. The Crimson Tide was able to cut the advantage down to 2-1 after an Amanda Locke first-pitch, solo home run with one out in the second inning. LSU responded right back with a two-out rally during the third inning. Langoni and Juliana Santos worked their way to consecutive walks to set the table for Allison Falcon. On a 2-2 offering, Falcon smoked a RBI single into left centerfield to put the Tigers up 3-1. Alabama answered with a Fenton solo shot to straight-away centerfield with two outs in the third inning to make it 3-2. After allowing the two home runs, I knew I had to bear down, Fico said. My teammates were working so hard for me. I needed to make my pitches sharper and start generating some swings-and-misses. Coach Torina talked me threw it and really helped me get my mindset back on-track. Fico worked her way out of trouble and stranded runners during the fourth, fifth and sixth stanzas. She recorded six of her nine Ks over the final three inning highlighted by striking out the side in the fifth. Alabama s bid to even the score during the seventh inning came up empty. On a 0-1 pitch, Jackie Traina hit a towering shot that went foul down the left field line. Four pitches later, Fico registered a strikeout of Traina for the second out of the inning. Kaila Braud s chopping bunt attempt was fielded by third baseman Tammy Wray, who fired a strike to Falcon covering the first base to get the speedy Braud by a step for the final out of the game. This was a huge win for us, Fico said. We did everything that we had to do and played Tiger softball. As soon as I saw the ball hit to Tammy, I knew we were going to get the out. I m so confident in her ability to play defensively at third base. She has such great, quick hands and possesses one of the best arms on the team so I knew that if she fielded the ball cleanly, she was going to throw Braud out. LSU 3 (29-9,11-2 SEC) The Crimson Tide s Leslie Jury was tagged with the loss and fell to 10-2 for the season.

13 2012 SEASON SERIES NO. 2 ALABAMA 6, NO. 24 LSU 0 04/08 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. No. 2 Alabama garnered a five-run first inning en route to a 6-0 win over the No. 24 LSU softball team Sunday during the rubber game of a SEC series in-front of 2,684 fans at Rhoads Stadium. The Tigers (29-10, 11-3 SEC) fell one game behind Alabama (37-2, 14-2 SEC) in the loss column at the top of SEC Western Division standings. It was great to come in here and get one win, head coach Beth Torina said. There are a lot of teams who have played Alabama and haven t been able to do that. Of course, we would have liked to win the series. There s a lot of softball that has to be played over the next four weeks. I feel we re right where we need to be and still in the hunt for the SEC championship. With two outs in the first inning, Alabama s Cassie Reilly-Boccia was hit-by-a-pitch. Kaila Hunt started a run of three straight singles, while Amanda Locke knocked a RBI single down the left field line for the game s first run. Jazlyn Lunceford connected for a two-run single through the middle just past the diving attempt of LSU second baseman Allison Falcon to push the Crimson Tide advantage to 3-0. Two batters later, Kendall Dawson deposited a two-run single to cap the frame and make it 5-0. We need to step up the next time we re in that situation and stop the bleeding, Torina said. Somebody needs to step up and be a leader. We had two outs, and it s a completely different ball game if we get one more play to get out of the inning. Brittany Mack retired nine of the next 10 batters she faced and posted three consecutive zeroes on the scoreboard before giving way to Rachele Fico. Mack dropped to 12-6 on the season. The Crimson Tide also received a one-hit shutout from Jackie Traina s right-arm. She retired the first 11 batters she faced before issuing a walk to Ashley Langoni. LSU s lone hit came on an A.J. Andrews infield single during the fifth inning. I m sure she felt the pressure to step up with a big performance after we got the win yesterday, Torina said. She was very tough today and a lot of credit goes to her. My biggest lessen for our players today was their response after we gave up the five runs. I didn t think we had a very good response. That s something we can change, it s a mentality thing. LSU 0 (29-10,11-3 SEC) 2012 LSU Softball #24 LSU at #2 Alabama Apr 08, 2012 at Tuscaloosa, Ala.
