Two UL Softball Players Lead Nation In A Statistical Category

Two members of the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns lead the nation in separate individual categories.

Heading into the final week of the 2019 regular season schedule, pitcher Summer Ellyson leads the country in victories, while infielder/outfielder Keeli Milligan is tied for the most stolen bases.

A junior right-hander, Ellyson is having a banner season, with a 33-4 record, along with a 1.01 ERA.

Ellyson's 33 wins are 6 more than Florida's Kelly Barnhill, who has 27, and only two shy of matching Melissa Coronado for the second most in a single-season in school history.

A senior, Milligan currently has 57 stolen bases, which matches Southeastern Louisiana's Jaquelyn Ramon for the most in Division I college softball.

Milligan, who set the single-season school record for stolen bases two weeks ago, also set a new Sun Belt Conference record over the weekend.
