JONESBORO, Ark.-For the second match in a row, Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns women's soccer team needed extra time to earn a win.  After downing Arkansas-Little Rock, 3-2, in overtime on Friday night, the Cajuns defeated Arkansas State 2-1 in overtime on Sunday afternoon for their second Sun Belt Conference win of the season. 

 

The win improves the Cajuns to 5-5-2 on the season and 2-2-0 in conference play.  The five wins for the Cajuns surpasses their win total from last season, and two conference wins ties the Ragin' Cajuns 2005 total. 

 

The overtime match was the fifth for the Cajuns this season.  UL is currently 2-1-2 this season when a match goes to an extra period.  The Ragin' Cajuns are 2-2-5 under second year head coach Scot Wieland in overtime. 

 

The Indians took a 1-0 lead in the first half, but the Cajuns' Emily Black scored her second goal of the season to tie the score at 1-1. 

 

The score remained 1-1 as the two teams broke for halftime. 

 

Neither team was able to score in the second half despite numerous chances for the Cajuns. 

 

Freshman Courtney Hofland scored the golden goal in overtime to give the Ragin' Cajuns their second overtime win in as many matches. 

 

The goal was Hofland's third of the season and her first match winning goal of her career.  Three goals ties Stephanie Lynch and Lindsay Webb for the team lead on the season. 

 

The Cajuns' Taunya Geelhoed was credited with both assists for UL.  They were the first two assists of her career and the first time in two years that a Cajuns player had multiple assists in one match. 

 

The last UL player with a pair of assists in a match was Mette Olesen against Florida International on Oct. 10, 2004.  Lauren Schwindt was the last Cajuns player to accomplish this feat in a road match.  She recorded two assists on Sept. 3, 2003 in Thibodaux, La., against Nicholls State. 

 

The Ragin' Cajuns return home to Lafayette on Friday, Oct. 6, to take on Florida Atlantic.  The match is set to kickoff at 7 p.m. UL will continue the weekend on Sunday, Oct. 8 as they take on Florida International at noon.
