LAFAYETTE - After enduring a tough winless five-match road trip, Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns return to the volleyball court for a six-match homestand beginning Monday with the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks. Match time is set for 7 p.m. at Earl K. Long Gym. Live stats, in addition to live web streaming, will be available at RaginCajuns.com.
Louisiana (2-20, 1-6 Sun Belt) has lost six straight Sun Belt Conference matches with its last win coming at home against the Florida Atlantic Owls (3-1) on Sept. 22.
The Cajuns lead the all-time series with their in-state conference rival ULM 29-17. The teams split the season series in 2006 as the Warhawks won the first meeting 3-1 before the Cajuns won 3-0 in Lafayette.
Freshman Amie Goodwin (Tucson, Ariz.) is averaging 4.12 kills per game in Sun Belt play, posting 99 kills through seven matches. Friday, the rookie tallied 19 kills, while hitting .368 on 38 total attacks. Goodwin continues to lead the team with 289 kills in 79 games, averaging 3.66 kills per game.
Elizabeth Inman (Fort Worth, Texas), who tallied 300 kills in 29 matches a year ago, is second on the team with 255 kills, averaging 3.23 kills per game.
Since the Cajuns' last home match, sophomore setter Kendra Hall (Dallas, Texas) moved into fifth place on the school's career assists list, surpassing Vivianne Camacho (1,423). Hall (1,523) is 147 assists away from moving into fourth place on the all-time list. Senior Erika Castro (San Antonio, Texas) remains in third place on UL's career digs list with 1,417 digs; the libero needs 71 more to move into second place (Gina Calegari - 1,487).
ULM (0-19, 0-6 Sun Belt) has lost 30 straight matches (including 17 consecutive Sun Belt contests), dating back to last season's 3-1 win over the Cajuns on Oct. 9, 2006. The Warhawks are paced offensively by Stephanie Hall, who leads the squad with 112 kills through 17 matches.
Following Monday's match with Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana will host Sun Belt West Division rivals Denver on Friday and North Texas on Saturday.
