Mobile, Ala. – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns soccer team earned a 3-2 win over Sun Belt Conference leader South Alabama on Sunday afternoon at The Cage.
Â
Louisiana (7-7-1, 3-3-1 SBC) took a 3-1 lead in the 70th minute on a goal by junior Whitney Taggart, her fourth of the season. Junior Ashleigh Cade was credited with her nation leading tenth assist of the season.
Â
South Alabama (9-4-1, 4-2 SBC) answered with a goal in the 84th minute from Jemma Purfield on a deep free kick from the right side.
Â
The Cajuns had key saves from sophomore goalkeeper Cosette Morché in the final minutes to preserve the win. Morché had eight saves in the match.
Â
"I'm just really proud of them because it was just such a great total team effort on the road against a very good team," head coach Scot Wieland said.
Â
South Alabama took an early 1-0 lead in the 14th minute on a goal by Monique Autmon off an assist from Ashlynn Jones.
Â
Louisiana scored in the 43rd minute on a goal by junior Haley Boroch off an assist from a corner kick by Yazmin Montoya.
Â
"We earned a corner kick and it's just a matter of people doing their jobs," Wieland said. "Yazmin served in a beautiful ball and Haley did her job."
Â
Louisiana took a 2-1 lead in the 56th minute on a goal by Montoya from 30 yards out off an assist from freshman Celine Rumpf. It was Montoya's fifth goal of the season.
Â
Taggart's goal in the 70th minute gave the Ragin' Cajuns a two goal lead.
Â
 "Going up 3-1 on the road is massive rather than 2-1," Wieland said. "One goal leads in soccer are not that much. Having that third goal was huge."
Â
Louisiana will face Louisiana Monroe on Sunday, Oct. 16 in a 1 p.m. match at the Ragin' Cajuns Soccer/Track Facility.
