Alabama Softball Stays Strong at No. 2 in Polls
There are just four undefeated teams left in college softball, and one of them is the Alabama Crimson Tide. Team 26 was a perfect 6-0 in game over a four-day stretch down in Louisiana over the long weekend.
The Crimson Tide picked up another pair of top-25 wins over then No. 20 Louisiana and now sit at 15-0. Alabama is ranked No. 2 in all major polls behind the defending national champions Oklahoma at No. 1. The other undefeated teams are No. 3 Florida State and No. 4 Florida. Until any of the four teams loses, the rankings are unlikely to change.
Alabama will play the Seminoles in a midweek game at Rhoads Stadium on March 16 and will go to Gainesville to play the Gators for a weekend SEC series April 9-11. Florida is also the host of the SEC Tournament this year.
