Balanced Attack Leads Louisiana Past Xavier (La.), 62-49
LAFAYETTE – A season-high twelve Ragin' Cajuns recorded a bucket behind 10 points from Jomyra Mathis and Alexandria Goodly as Louisiana earned its fifth-straight victory with a 62-49 win over Xavier (La.) on Monday evening.
Louisiana (6-1) continues its best start to a season since the 2015-16 season and improves to 4-0 at the Cajundome this season.
Defensive Effort Doesn’t Fall Trojans Way
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Little Rock held visiting Louisiana Tech to season-low numbers in shooting (27.1 percent) and points scored (43) but the Lady Techsters used a fourth quarter Trojan scoring drought to claim the 43-38 road win at the Jack Stephens Center Monday evening.
The Trojans (1-6) trailed by just two entering the final quarter but host Little Rock couldn't find a way to net points until Kyra Collier hit back-to-back 3-pointers with under a minute to go in the game. By that time a two-point deficit had grown to 11 points and even Collier's heroics weren't enough as time evaporated quicker than Louisiana Tech's lead.
