McNeese State Cowgirls softball (NCAA) (2003–Present)

Joe Miller Field at Cowgirl Diamond is the home stadium for the Division I (NCAA) McNeese State Cowgirls softball team. Located on the campus of McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the stadium has a 1,200 seating capacity. Seating consists of partially covered bleacher seating. The stadium has field lighting, bullpens, dugouts, and a press box. An indoor training facility, the "H.I.T" or House of Indoor Training, located outside the right field fence, allows hitting practice in all weather conditions. A Daktronics electronic scoreboard includes a message board.[4] The initial home game was played on March 14, 2003, against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles softball team.[2][1]

Adjacent to the stadium is the Hodges Street Fieldhouse, a 5,400 sq ft building opened on June 18, 2008, which services both the softball and soccer programs. The building houses coaches offices; separate locker rooms for soccer and softball; a shared training room; and a conference room.[5]

The 2009, 2016, and 2018 Southland Conference softball tournaments were played at Cowgirl Diamond. In 2016 and 2018 the host McNeese Cowgirls won the tournament.[6]
