LYNCHBURG, Va. – The Louisiana Tech Softball team lost its series finale at Liberty, 2-0, on Saturday afternoon at the Liberty Softball Stadium.
The Bulldogs’ offensive woes continued at the plate as the Flames’ Kaylan Yoder threw her second complete-game shutout of the weekend. Yoder allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out eight.
Kylie Neel doubled, and Nicole Hammoude singled to account for the Bulldogs’ hits in the contest, while Katelin Cooper drew a walk.
Louisiana Tech had a solid day in the circle. Brook Melnychuk started the contest and allowed one run on three hits while striking out one in her two innings. Allie Floyd took it the rest of the way, striking out two and allowing one run on two hits in four innings.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Louisiana Tech started Brook Melnychuk for the 13th time this season while Liberty went back to its Thursday night starter in Kaylan Yoder.
Both sides were kept off the board and out of the hit column in the first. Liberty’s Sierra Kersten was the one baserunner, courtesy of a two-out walk.
Nicole Hammoude recorded the game’s first hit by singling into left-center field with two outs in the top of the second inning. KK Madrey led off the home half with a leadoff bunt single. Brooke Roberts followed with a line drive down the left field line. Both runners advanced a base on a sacrifice bunt by Savannah Jesse. A Rachel Craine bloop single to shallow left field gave the Flames a 1-0 lead. Melnychuk issued a lineout to Hammoude at shortstop for the second out of the inning before getting a groundout to Hammoude to end the inning.
In the third inning, Katelin Cooper drew a one-out walk, which was all the Bulldogs could muster. The walk was Cooper’s team-leading 22nd of the season.
Allie Floyd relieved Melnychuk in the bottom of the third and spun a scoreless frame that featured a strikeout and an inning-ending 3-5-4-5-4-2 rundown to catch the Flames’ Megan Fortner trying to go first-to-third on a bunt single by Madrey.
Yoder continued her stellar pitching performance with a 1-2-3 fourth inning. Floyd answered with a 1-2-3 inning and picked up her second strikeout of the day in the bottom half.
In the fifth inning, Yoder made it seven straight Bulldogs retired by sitting Tech down in order. Floyd answered with her second-straight 1-2-3 inning in the bottom half.
The Bulldogs’ woes at the plate continued in the sixth. Liberty added a run in the bottom of the sixth. Kersten led off the inning by hitting a high fly ball that dropped in center field. Kerstens fly ball was questionably scored a double instead of an error. Kersten would later come around to score on a sacrifice fly by Madrey to make it the final 2-0.
Kylie Neel doubled down the right field line with one out in the seventh but Yoder kept the Dogs off the board to wrap up her second complete game shutout of the weekend.

Dr. Billy Bundrick Field
Dr. Billy Bundrick and Dr. Robert Mack Caruthers started a lifelong friendship in the first grade in Shreveport more than 70 years ago.
They became good friends – “the very best of friends,” according to Dr. Bundrick – during their years together at Alexander Elementary School, Hamilton Terrace Junior High School and Byrd High School.
Eventually, after Dr. Bundrick transferred to Louisiana Tech following a freshman year at Texas A&M, the duo became roommates at Hale Hall. And although each pursued his own career direction – medicine for Bundrick and engineering professor for Caruthers – their passion for Louisiana Tech bonded their friendship until the passing of Dr. Caruthers in 2016.
Now, the two men’s names are being reunited.
Louisiana Tech announced today that the new softball field will be named in honor of the highly-decorated orthopedic surgeon who has given more than 40 years of his professional career to his alma mater.
The Dr. Billy Bundrick naming of the softball field comes thanks to a financial donation towards the facility from Dr. Bundrick’s daughter, Margaret, and her husband, Jim Davison.
“As the university was seeking assistance in the development of a state-of-the-art sports complex for our softball team, Jim and I were thrilled to help,” said Margaret Davison. “When Brooks Hull mentioned the naming of the soccer field in memory of Dad’s good friend, Dr. Caruthers, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to honor dad for a lifetime of dedication to Louisiana Tech.”
Dr. Billy Bundrick Field sits just west (less than 50 yards away) of Dr. Robert Mack Caruthers Soccer Field, the new home for the Lady Techster soccer program. The announcement of the naming of the soccer field came in October 2019 following a gift from Tim Cutt (1983, Petroleum Engineering) and his wife Carolyn in honor of the former Petroleum Engineering professor.
“Robert Mack and I go back to the first grade,” said Dr. Bundrick. “All the way through high school and Tech. We go way back. Robert Mack was a fine, fine man and a friend. The very best.”
Louisiana Tech has honored Dr. Bundrick in just about every conceivable way over the past four decades, and he has more than earned each one. The resume of the Bulldog football letter winner (1957-59), team captain, and longtime LA Tech team orthopedic doctor (1973-2013) is loaded with accolades from both the University and the athletics realm.
“Dr. Billy Bundrick has been a steadfast supporter of Louisiana Tech since his days on the football field,” said Louisiana Tech President Les Guice. “Seeing him work with our student-athletes to help them stay healthy has been a highlight of my time at Tech, and I can think of few better ways to honor his legacy than this.”
Although he first made a name for himself playing for legendary coach
Established 2021
Joe Aillet and the Bulldogs, Dr. Bundrick has spent more than half of his life taking care of Louisiana Tech’s male and female student-athletes.
In addition to donating countless hours to Louisiana Tech’s student-athletes over a four-decade stretch, Dr. Bundrick has also supported the University and its athletic department financially. He and his wife Linda are members of the Team Tech $1 Million Lifetime Giving Club, an elite membership that includes less than 15 couples who have each given more than $1 million during their lifetime.
According to Dr. Bundrick, he and his family’s association with Louisiana Tech over the years has been a big part of his life. He’s had a passion for Lady Techster softball program and has been an integral part of numerous facility projects within the program over the past decade.
“Louisiana Tech has meant everything … to me and my family,” said Dr. Bundrick. “It’s a real honor (to have the stadium named after me). It’s a real honor. The field is going to be great. All of the new facilities are. This is just a special honor.”
Dr. Bundrick was enshrined into the Louisiana Tech Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the class of 1986. He has earned numerous other honors, including the Louisiana Tech Alumnus of the Year (1980), the Distinguished Alumni Award for the College of Life Sciences (1986), Centennial 100 Distinguished Alumni (1994) and Tower Medallion recipient (1995).
He served as the University Foundation Board President (1981-83) and was a Privileged Director of the Foundation Board (1986-87). He received an honorary doctorate in 1984.
“Although I am relatively new to the Louisiana Tech Family, I am very familiar with Dr. Bundrick’s legacy to this University and its athletic department,” said LA Tech VP and Director of Athletics Eric Wood. “He and his family have such deep ties to Louisiana Tech. Dr. Bundrick had a great impact on thousands of our student-athletes over the years, and he will now have his name forever grace our beautiful new softball field.”

“We are really excited about this class,” Taylor said. “We are bringing in a left-handed pitcher, right-handed pitcher, and a left-handed bat with speed, which fits exactly what we need with this class. Ryleigh and Laney are dynamic pitchers in very different ways in the circle. We are excited to combo those two for years to come. Elena is a dynamic player that brings difference-making speed to the table. All three of our signees are fantastic people. The caliber of human beings we bring in with these three is off the chart. As students, they have incredible GPAs and test scores, and their softball IQ is also off the charts. We are extremely excited to welcome these three in.”
Heng’s athleticism has allowed her to excel at numerous positions during her three seasons at Airline High School, where she has played under former LA Tech standout Katie Smith. She was named the district MVP and first-team all-district shortstop in 2023 after posting a .465 batting average. In 2022, Heng was named first-team all-district and all-state as a center fielder. As a freshman in 2021, she earned first-team all-district recognition as a catcher while also taking home honorable-mention all-state honors while helping lead the Vikings to a runner-place state finish.
“We are excited to welcome Elena to Ruston and the LA Tech Softball family,” Taylor said. “Elena brings a solid left-handed bat and speed to our program. She is a dynamic player who understands softball and loves to compete. We could not be more excited to welcome Elena to Louisiana Tech.”
Heng played travel ball for the Titans Baker in 2023 and posted a .406 batting average. In addition to softball, she also participated in archery, cross country, and indoor and outdoor track.
“I love the atmosphere at Tech, and they have a great program that I am looking forward to studying,” Heng said. “Nothing feels more at home than Louisiana Tech.”
Johnson is an in-state talent from North Desoto High School, where she has helped lead the Griffins to three consecutive state titles (2021, 2022, 2023) while lettering four times for head coach Tim Whitman.
“We are excited to welcome Laney to Ruston and the LA Tech Softball family,” head coach Josh Taylor said. “Laney is a tall right-handed pitcher who also brings an explosive bat. She is also a wonderful student who will excel in the classroom. We could not be more excited to welcome Laney to Louisiana Tech and our softball program.”
Johnson has brought home an abundance of accolades during her prep career. The right-handed pitcher was named the District MVP and 4A Louisiana Player of the Year in 2023 after leading the Griffins to a 35-2 record on the way to their third consecutive state title. She is a three-time LSHAA all-state and LSWA All-State selection while being named All-Area Player of the Year twice. The Stonewall, La., product played travel ball for Impact Gold Tate 18U. Johnson chose the Lady Techsters over Oregon State, Central Arkansas, ULM, Kennesaw State, McNeese State, and many others.
“I chose to come to Louisiana Tech because it is the perfect place for me,” said Johnson. “It is near home, and the coaches and facilities are top-notch. I am glad Louisiana Tech is my future home, and I can’t wait to be there soon.”
Shull comes to Ruston from Hamlin, W.V., where she prepped at Lincoln County High School while playing Travel Ball for Team North Carolina Hinde. Shull is a dominant left-handed pitcher and is nationally ranked as the No. 36 player in the 2024 class by Extra Innings Softball. She earned first-team all-state honors in both 2022 and 2023.
“We are excited to welcome Ryleigh to Ruston and the LA Tech Softball family,” Taylor said. “Ryleigh is a dynamic left-handed pitcher with command of multiple pitches and understands how to get hitters out. She also brings with her an unbelievable work ethic and strong values. Ryleigh is also an outstanding student who will excel in the classroom. We could not be more excited to have Ryleigh put on the LA Tech uniform and represent this wonderful university and softball program.
Shull posted a 1.2 ERA, fanning 93 batters and limiting opponents to just a .233 batting average against her while pitching for Lincoln County in 2023. She also wreaked havoc at the plate with a .432 batting average and six home runs. Shull batted .406 with 35 home runs and eight RBI as a sophomore while posting a 2.76 ERA in the circle as a sophomore helping lead the Panthers to a third-place finish in the WVSSAC Class AAA State Tournament.
The West Virginia product also put up impressive numbers in travel ball with a 2.2 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 54.2 innings pitched during the summer of 2023. Shull was dominant during the PGF Premier Nationals, where she struck out 16 batters without yielding a single run and limiting opposing hitters to a .109 average in 13.2 innings of work.
“I chose Louisiana Tech because of the outstanding academics available, the beautiful campus and community, and the incredible coaches,” Shull said. “The growing softball program and family-like atmosphere made the decision a no-brainer.”
