Cajuns Fall To No. 1 Notre Dame In Houston, 91-51
11/23/2016 12:51:00 AM | Women's Basketball
Houston – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's basketball team fell to No. 1 Notre Dame, 91-51, in a bizarre game that saw a location change late in the second quarter on Tuesday night.
The game began at the Campbell Center in Houston, Texas, but was forced to move to Rice University due to a power outage that occurred with Notre Dame leading Louisiana, 38-17 with 2:38 left in the second quarter.
When the game resumed at Tudor Fieldhouse, the Fighting Irish proved why they are the nation's top team.
Notre Dame led 42-20 at halftime and pulled away in the second half behind a career-high 27 points from Marina Mabrey including 4-for-7 from three-point range. Brianna Turner added 16 points and 12 rebounds for her second double-double of the season.
Louisiana kept the game close in the first quarter and went on a 7-0 run to cut the Notre Dame lead to 13-10 with 4:37 left in the first quarter. The Fighting Irish responded and led 19-15 at the end of the first period.
Notre Dame then went on a 19-2 run before the teams were forced to change locations.
Louisiana was led in scoring by Jaylyn Gordon with 16 points while Jasmine Thomas added 15 points for the Cajuns.
Louisiana will return to action on Friday, Nov. 25 when it travels to play Southeast Missouri State in a 1:30 p.m. game in Hattiesburg, Miss. as part of the Lady Eagle Classic.
