FOR STARTERS
A full slate is on tap for the Ragin' Cajuns this week with three matches in four days, begining Wednesday on the road at in-state rival ULM. The Cajuns have won 13 of the last 15 meetings with the Warhawks dating back to 2006. That record includes sweeps in each of the last four meetings.
UL will then return home for consecutive home matches for the second straight week, beginning with a Friday evening meeting with UALR. The Trojans will enter the weekend with a perfect 5-0 league mark, a record that includes a sweep fo the Cajuns in Little Rock on Sept. 19. The Cajuns will then have a quick turnaround, facing Troy for the first time this season on Saturday. UL is 8-8 all-time against Troy, splitting last season's series with each team winning on its home court.
Fans are encouraged to follow @UL_Volleyball on Twitter for in-game updates, and @ULRaginCajuns for all Ragin' Cajun Athletics updates. Live stats will be available for each match of the tournament, while a live video stream will be available for the Ragin' Cajun's match against Houston.
NEXT WEEK
Louisiana will step out of conference for one of its final two non-conference matches of the season next week when it heads to Baylor on Tuesday, Oct. 14, for a meeting with the Bears. The Cajuns are 1-1 all-time against Baylor, not having squared off with the Bears since 1991. The match will serve as the Cajuns' first-ever trip to Waco with each of the previous two matches coming on a neutral court.
That match will serve as the first of four straight road matches with trips to Appalachian State, Georgia Southern and Georgia State following, beginning at Oct. 17 in Boone, N.C. against the Mountaineers. UL is 3-0 against next week's conference opponents, having already knocked off each in Earl K. Long Gym.
QUICK HITS
- Senior Caitlyn Auxilien's 3.66 digs per set ranks in the top 10 in the Sun Belt Conference this year. She moved past Gina Calegari into fourth all-time at Louisiana in digs with 1,513 over the weekend, becoming only the fourth player in program history to reach the 1,500-dig mark for her career. Next up on the all-time UL list is Erika Castro in third place with 1,589.
- UL came back from down 20-12 in the second set of last week's win over Georgia Southern. It is the biggest deficit successfully overcome by the Ragin' Cajuns in a match this year.
- Andrea Hole has picked up 12 double-doubles on the season, a mark that is second in the conference only behind Texas State's Shelby Vas Matt's 13 double-doubles. Stacey Reilly has picked up four double-doubles on the year for UL, and Sara Mossakowski has three.
