#154: Eugene Lenti, Head Coach, DePaul Softball, visits TCRS. DePaul is the lone member of the BIG EAST represented in the NFCA pre-season rankings and is coming off of a 44-11 campaign from a season ago and finished No. 24 in the last NFCA poll of 2014. The Blue Demons, despite not having a ranked matchup in league play, meet some of top competition in the non-conference portion of their schedule. DePaul encounters four teams in the preseason poll who are ranked or are receiving votes this season. DePaul kicks off its season with a duel in Honolulu with No. 4 Oklahoma on Feb. 5. The Blue Demons could see the Sooners twice during the five-game classic, hosted by Hawaii. DePaul also tangles with former BIG EAST rival, No. 22 Notre Dame, in South Bend, Ind. on April 21.
