Louisiana heads north to face Arkansas State, Little Rock
LAFAYETTE – Mackenzie Lee recorded two of her five saves in the second overtime and the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's soccer team battled to a scoreless draw against South Alabama in a regionally-televised match on Sunday at the Ragin' Cajuns Soccer/Track Complex.
Â
Skyla Sykes and Telly Vunipola each placed a pair of shots on goal for Louisiana (4-3-2, 0-0-1 SBC), which picked up a point in its Sun Belt Conference opener while facing South Alabama (6-2-2, 1-0-1 SBC) for the 21st time in school history – the most against any opponent.
Â
Louisiana managed a pair of shots on the first half against USA goalkeeper Justin Stanford before being outshot, 5-1, in the second half. The Ragin' Cajuns knocked away six corner kick attempts by the Jaguars in the final nine minutes of regulation while Lee stopped a shot by USA's Chloe McGlade in the final half minute to send the match to overtime.
Â
Sykes nearly put the match away in the first overtime for Louisiana after she stepped in front of a Jaguar pass and had an open look at the net, but was stopped by Stanford, who finished with four saves.
Â
Vunipola notched both of her shot attempts on goal in the final period, including a blast towards the upper left corner of the goal in the 110th minute that was knocked away by Stanford for an eventual corner kick for Louisiana.
Â
Gwen Mummert had an opportunity to put the match away for Louisiana on the ensuing corner kick, but her header missed to the left of the goal.
Â
The match was Louisiana's first scoreless draw since Oct. 1, 2017 at Georgia State, and the first scoreless draw at home since facing Troy in the 2013 regular-season finale.
Â
McGlade took a match-high three shots for South Alabama, including a pair on goal attempts. Ana Helmert, who capped the Jaguars' 1-0 win at Texas State with a goal in double overtime on Thursday, added a pair of shots for South Alabama, which held an 11-8 advantage in shots.
Â
Louisiana will travel north for a pair of Sun Belt Conference matches beginning on Thursday (Sept. 27) when it faces Arkansas State in a 3 p.m. contest. The Ragin' Cajuns will cap off the weekend when they face Little Rock on Sept. 29 at 1 p.m.
