Ragin' Cajuns head to College Station to face 12th-ranked Texas A&M on Saturday
LAFAYETTE – Lizzie Mayfield opened up a second-half surge for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Soccer team with a goal in the 51st minute before adding an assist in the 82nd in a 3-0 victory over in-state foe Nicholls on Thursday at the Ragin' Cajuns Track/Soccer Facility.
Â
Hailey Daigle and Karleen Bedre each scored insurance goals in the final 10 minutes as Louisiana (10-7-1) reached the 10-win mark for the second time in school history and first since posting 10 wins in 2010.
Â
Lauryn Starwood stopped a pair of shots in posting a clean sheet for the Ragin' Cajuns, who had dropped their last three matches since a 3-0 win over Coastal Carolina in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference Championships on Nov. 4, 2020.
Â
Mayfield added her team-high sixth goal of the season in the 51st minute when she took a pass from Rachel Sutter and scored past Nicholls goalkeeper Reagan Carter for a 1-0 lead.
Â
Louisiana, which held a 20-7 advantage in shots with 14 coming in the second half, added its second goal in the 81st minute when Daigle, a hometown product who prepped at Acadiana High, fired off a shot from just inside the 18-yard box and found the back of the net for her first career goal.
Â
Mayfield set up Louisiana's final goal just over a minute later when she fed Bedre with a pass down the left sideline and the sophomore finished it off with a left-footed shot from just inside the 18-yard box and into the lower right corner of the net for a 3-0 cushion.
Â
Mayfield attempted a match-high four shots for Louisiana, which placed a combined eight shots on goal. Sutter and Mya Smith each fired off three shots for the Ragin' Cajuns with Daigle, Bedre, Alyssa Abbott and Alex Augustyn each attempting two.
Â
Nicholls (0-11-0) attempted four of its seven shots in the first half with Alicia Carlos leading the Colonels with two attempts. Carter collected five saves for the Colonels, who were opening a three-match road trip.
Â
Louisiana will return to action on Saturday when it travels to College Station, Texas to face No. 12-ranked Texas A&M at 7 p.m. The match will be available on SEC Network Plus with live results available at RaginCajuns.com.
