Louisiana Clinches Historic 10th-Straight Victory with Win Over ULM

Hallmon scores career-high 24 points to power Ragin’ Cajuns to historic victory
LAFAYETTE – Behind a career-high 24 points from sophomore Makayia Hallmon, Louisiana Women's Basketball made history by winning its 10th-straight game after a 65-51 victory over in-state foe ULM on Thursday.
Â
On top of the overall winning streak, the Ragin' Cajuns (11-5, 10-1 Sun Belt) have now won 13 consecutive games over the Warhawks dating back to Feb. 12, 2015.
Â
Hallmon was lights out all afternoon, going 9-for-11 from the field and a perfect 4-for-4 from long range en route to matching the highest-point total by a Ragin' Cajun this season. She also added five rebounds to round out her performance.
Â
Senior Skyler Goodwin joined Hallmon in double figures, scoring 14 points against the Warhawks while dishing out a team-high three assists, while Kimberly Burton led the way on the glass with seven of the team's 33 rebounds.
Â
Louisiana was able to find separation in the game at the charity stripe, making 15 free throws during the course of the contest compared to just four makes from ULM.
Â
Powered by eight points in the first four minutes from Hallmon, the Ragin' Cajuns were able to jump ahead early and led by as many as 12 points (17-5) before closing out the first quarter up 19-11.
Â
ULM (2-15, 0-11 Sun Belt) clawed its way back into the game in the second quarter and cut the deficit to 25-23 following a made jumper by Kierra Brimzy, but the Warhawks were unable to grab a lead as Louisiana took a 31-27 advantage into the break.
Â
Hallmon continued to impress in the second half, scoring seven points of a quarter-opening 8-0 run to extend the lead out to 39-27 at the 6:52 mark of the period.
Â
From that moment on, Louisiana held a comfortable advantage for the remainder of the game and took its largest lead of the game at 59-42 with 4:17 to play in the fourth quarter before making a handful of free throws down the stretch to secure the 65-51 win.
Â
The two programs will turn around and play each other once again on Saturday afternoon in Monroe. Tip-off from Fant-Ewing Coliseum is slated for 1 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on ESPN+ and ESPN1420 AM.
