Cajuns Shoot For 2-0 Start Sunday
Saturday, Aug. 30, 2003
BATON ROUGE - Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns women's soccer team will look to remain undefeated early on in the 2003 season when they take on Coastal Carolina Sunday at 11 a.m. here on the final day of the Tiger Classics at the LSU Soccer Complex.
On Friday, UL Lafayette (1-0) crushed Jackson State 10-0 in the first match of the tournament setting the school record for goals and recording the program's first-ever season-opening win.
Lafayette natives Ainsley Breaux and Ashley Delahoussaye each scored two goals in the contest. A total of eight Cajuns contributed goals in the win.
In the nightcap of Friday's action, Coastal Carolina (0-1) dropped a 2-1 decision to host-LSU, losing the match on a goal in the 89th minute.
Louisiana-Lafayette and CCU will be meeting for the first time.
The Chanticleers were 8-6-4 last season – posting the first winning season in program history. CCU returns nine starters from that squad and a total of 18 lettermen.
Tickets will be sold at the gates of the LSU Soccer Complex.
Following Sunday's match, the Cajuns will visit Nicholls State on Wednesday, Sept. 3 for a 4 p.m. match before opening the 2003 home slate on Sunday, Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. against Southern Mississippi.
