Una Einarsdottir and Ashley Newland each earned assists while Mackenzie Lee notched four saves in leading Louisiana (1-2-1) to its first win under first-year coach Lance Key and its first road victory since a 2-1 decision at Arkansas State on Sept. 15, 2017.
 
Sykes scored her first career goal in the 50th minute for Louisiana after taking a pass from Einarsdottir and placing a shot past CSU goalkeeper Judith Sorribes for a 1-0 lead.
 
Bedre gave the Ragin' Cajuns an insurance goal in the 82nd minute when she scored past Sorribes for her team-high second goal of the season.
