LAFAYETTE - Seven of the first 10 regular season matches on their home turf highlights the 2016 schedule for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's soccer team, which was released on Friday.
Louisiana, entering the 12th season under the direction of head coach Scot Wieland, will host 10 matches total at the Ragin' Cajuns Soccer/Track Facility on Reinhardt Drive with an even split (five apiece) between non-conference and Sun Belt Conference contests.
Including exhibition matches, the Ragin' Cajuns are set to face five in-state schools in non-conference play. The non-conference road slate features a trip to both of the SEC's Mississippi schools.
The Sun Belt Conference portion of the schedule increased to 10 matches with the addition of Coastal Carolina to the league. This season, teams are competing for a spot in the SBC's first-ever neutral site championship tournament being held Nov. 2-6 at the Foley Sports Complex in Foley, Ala.
The Ragin' Cajuns first steps onto the pitch in 2016 takes place on the road with exhibition matches at LSU (Aug. 12) and Northwestern State (Aug. 14).
The following week, Louisiana opens regular season competition on Friday, Aug. 19 on the road at Ole Miss. The Ragin' Cajuns cap off the opening weekend with their home opener on Sunday, Aug 21 at 4 p.m. vs. Alcorn State.
After a day trip to Thibodaux to face Nicholls State (Aug. 26), Louisiana returns to the Ragin' Cajuns Soccer/Track Facility on Sunday, Aug. 28 and begins a four-match homestand that consists of matches with Southern Miss (Aug. 28), Lamar (Sept. 2), Southeastern Louisiana (Sept. 4) and McNeese State (Sept. 9).
Following the conclusion of the homestand, Louisiana closes out its non-conference schedule with a trip to Starkville, Miss., on Sept. 11 to face Mississippi State.
The Ragin' Cajuns kick off Sun Belt Conference play the following weekend at home, hosting Georgia State (Sept. 16) and Little Rock (Sept. 18). A week later, the first road matches in SBC action occur at Georgia Southern (Sept. 23) and Troy (Sept. 25).
With an odd number of teams in the SBC, each team receives two byes in the league schedule. After hosting Texas State on Sept. 30, Louisiana receives the first of its two byes on Oct. 2 (other bye is on Oct. 14).
The October portion of the schedule begins with a split weekend, hosting Arkansas State (Oct. 7) and traveling to South Alabama (Oct. 9), is followed by Senior Day on Sunday, Oct. 16 vs. ULM, and ends with a season-ending road trip to Appalachian State (Oct. 21) and Costal Carolina (Oct. 23).
