TEMPE, Ariz. - The Sun Devil Softball Team returned to the top of the rankings Tuesday morning as both the NFCA and USA Softball polls released the Sun Devils as the No. 1 team in the country. A ranking they haven't held since the 2008 NCAA Championship season. The Sun Devils are currently 37-4 overall on the year and 4-2 two weeks into Pac-10 play with a series against defending NCAA ChampionUCLA awaiting this weekend.
In the NFCA poll, the Sun Devils received 15 of 30 first-place votes this week which marks the first time since the final poll of 2008 that the Sun Devils have topped the weekly rankings and the first time since April 8, 2008 that they have been atop a regular-season poll.
The Sun Devils will look to build on this season's success this weekend as they host defending NCAA Champions, the UCLA Bruins this Friday-Sunday in a three game series. Friday and Saturday's games will be at 7 p.m. and Sunday's at noon with limited tickets and standing-room only left.
The Sun Devils thank their fans and families for their continued success this season on their path back to Oklahoma City!
