Louisiana locks up No. 7 seed in Sun Belt Championships; will face Troy in first round
LAFAYETTE – Taytum Terrell scored an equalizing goal during a scramble in the 89th minute and Alisa Detlefsen added the game-winner four minutes into overtime to lead Troy to a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Soccer team in the Sun Belt Conference regular-season finale for both teams on Sunday at the Ragin' Cajuns Soccer/Track Complex.
Â
Haleigh Mercer recorded eight saves for Troy (12-2-4, 7-1-2 Sun Belt), which will enter next month's Sun Belt Conference Championships as the No. 2 seed. Louisiana, which will be the No. 7 seed and face the Trojans in the first round on Nov. 6, fell to 8-7-3 overall and 4-4-2 in league play.
Â
Louisiana held a 14-13 advantage in shots in the match and broke up a scoreless contest in the 55th minute. Telly Vunipola was fouled inside the 18-yard box by Troy's Noelle Golden, setting up Gwen Mummert's fourth goal of the season – and third on a penalty kick.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns had a potential insurance goal taken off the board in the 70th minute on an offsides call before Troy would answer late after a mad series of events off a corner kick.
Â
With the Trojans pushing Mercer up into the Louisiana box, Detlefsen sent in a corner kick from the right side, where a shot attempt by Kate Lorenz was blocked. A follow up shot by Maddie Brune on a header was knocked away by Louisiana goalkeeper Mackenzie Lee and the Ragin' Cajuns attempted to clear the ball out of the box.
Â
Troy's Karina Valeriano then got possession of the ball and sent the ball back into the box, where her pass was deflected by Katie Eubanks with Terrell tapping in the a follow-up attempt to knot the match at 1-1.
Â
The Trojans iced the match in the 95th minute when Detlefsen collected a shot by Lorenz that was blocked and scored past Lee into the lower, left corner of the goal.
Â
Lee stopped three shots for Louisiana, which earned its first berth to the Sun Belt Conference Championships since 2016. Kobi McNutt had four shots for Louisiana, including a pair on-goal.
Â
Mercer had five of her eight saves in the second half, including a diving stop of an attempt by Karleen Bedre in the 87th minute.
