JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns women's soccer team concluded their trip to Florida with a 1-0 victory over North Florida.
Stephanie Lynch scored the match winning goal in the first half of the match. She scored on a free kick at the top of the box in the 24th minute of the match. The goal was her first of the season and helped the Cajuns improve to 2-3-1 on the year.
Just six matches into the season, Lynch became the seventh UL player this year to score at least one goal. In 2005, the Ragin' Cajuns had just eight people net goals in the 17-match season.
Stephanie Weston was at the net for the Cajuns. The sophomore earned the win, recording her fifth career shutout.
Weston's five shutouts moves her into sole possession of second place in the Cajuns career annals. She is currently behind teammate Kristen Malen (6) on the all-time shutouts list.
She recorded seven saves on the afternoon, giving her 122 for her career. She now currently ranks third all-time in saves, behind only Liza Preseault (176) and Anne Corbello (144).
The win moves Weston into third place in the Cajuns career victories list with six career wins. She is just one victory shy of Malen (7) and three victories shy of the all-time leader Preseault (9).
The Cajuns took seven shots on the day, including six shots on goals. Five different UL players attempted shots, with Emily Black and Erika Saffer both attempting a pair of shots to lead UL.
The win improves the Ragin' Cajuns to 2-3-1 all-time when playing in the state of Florida and 4-6-1 all-time against teams from the Sun Shine State.
The Ragin' Cajuns continue their six-match road swing on Sunday, Sept. 10 as they head to Hammond, La., to face Southeastern Louisiana. Kickoff between the Ragin' Cajuns and the Lions is slated for 1 p.m.
The Lions lead the all-time series 2-0-0. The only other time the Cajuns have played in Hammond, SLU took a 3-1 decision in just the second year of the soccer program in 2001.
