Doucet’s double-double helps the Ragin’ Cajuns earn their third-straight win
LAFAYETTE – With the score knotted up at 26 at halftime, Louisiana stormed out of the gate with a 21-0 run over a 5:44 stretch to start the second half to help lock up a 68-55 victory and give the Ragin' Cajuns their 11th-straight win over the Warhawks.
Â
Saturday's win marked the team's third-straight in league play and its sixth-straight against schools from Louisiana this year. The win also improved the Ragin' Cajuns to 6-1 at the Cajundome.
Â
Junior Ty'Reona Doucet was a force against the Warhawks, recording her fourth double-double of the season with 17 points and 11 rebounds. On top of that, Doucet swatted three shots, moving her into sole possession of ninth place on the school's all-time blocks list.
Â
Louisiana (13-6, 6-2 SBC) did a good job sharing the basketball with 14 assists to a season-low six turnovers. Andrea Cournoyer, who scored nine points against ULM and leads the team with 51 assists this season, dished out a team-best four on Saturday.
Â
Despite being outrebounded, 47-29, the Ragin' Cajuns were dominant down low and outscored the Warhawks, 34-22, in the paint. The team was just as dominant on defense, forcing 22 turnovers and recording 10 steals to keep the Warhawks at bay.
Â
Brandi Williams, who finished the game with nine points, sparked a 7-0 run to start the game for Louisiana with a 3-pointer from the left wing, but ULM was quick to respond with a run of its own before an Alexandria Goodly triple with 10 seconds on the clock gave the home team a 15-9 advantage after ten minutes.
Â
The second quarter belonged to the Warhawks, which shot 41.4 percent from the floor and outscored the Ragin' Cajuns, 17-11. Despite the two-point deficit late in the period, Williams stepped up to the line and buried two free throws to send the game to halftime with the score tied at 26-26.
Â
After moving into a full-court press to begin the second half, the home team's offense exploded for 21 unanswered points in the opening 5:44 of the third quarter to take a commanding 47-26 advantage. ULM responded well with an 11-2 run over the final 4:16 of the third quarter to take a large chunk out of the deficit and trail 50-37 with 10 minutes remaining.
Â
Another big run by the Ragin' Cajuns sparked the team's offense in the fourth quarter and eventually put Louisiana ahead 66-42 at the 4:47 mark.
Â
ULM was not going to go down quietly, though, using a 13-0 in the remaining time to close out the game. However, it was not enough as Louisiana won its third-straight game by a final score of 68-55.
Â
With a bye date scheduled for this upcoming Thursday, Louisiana returns to action on Saturday, Feb. 1, when it hosts Little Rock at the Cajudome. Tipoff is slated for 2 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN+.
