Texas softball: Where do the Longhorns rank in the national polls?

[ASFN Admin]

Texas softball won another hard-fought series in the SEC Sunday, this time over Missouri.

As a result, the Longhorns (37-3, 10-2 SEC) remain atop both the SEC standings as well as the national polls entering a brutal mid-conference stretch against fellow top-10 teams Tennessee on March April 11-13 and LSU on April 17-19. Both those series will take place at McCombs Field in Austin.
