As we’ve profiled on this blog in recent weeks, the Kentucky softball team is off to a great start at 19-6 on the season, 5-3 in the Southeastern Conference. For really only the second time in school history and first since claiming the SEC East championship in 2000, UK is entertaining the possibility of competing for the SEC crown.

Kentucky is hitting .287 on the season, well above its average from last year, to go along with a 1.79 ERA.

One of the few achievements that has eluded the program during its meteoric rise over the past few years is a win over Louisville. The Cats have lost eight straight in the series, setting up a pretty critical game with the 18-9 Cardinals on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Louisville.

Head coach Rachel Lawson stopped by the Wildcat Den before Joker Phillips’ spring football news conference Tuesday to talk about the Louisville game and her team’s play this season. Video of her comments are below:
