Program Record on the Line as Louisiana Takes on LSU

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana - Looking for a program record the Louisiana soccer team takes on LSU on Sunday in Baton Rouge. The Cajuns are unbeaten through seven contests this season, tying the longest streak in program history.

"We've really emphasized getting locked in before games and during practice," said Hailly Waterhouse. "We've stepped onto the field with intention and we intend to keep the momentum moving forward."

Heading into Sunday the Cajuns have dominated on the stat sheet. They lead opponents 12-4 in goals and outshot them 122-47.

"We bought into doing something bigger than what we've done in past years," said Waterhouse. "The coaches have done a good job of helping us when we get out there but we as a team have made sure to buy into the game plan first."

A big part of that start has been the play of the freshmen for Louisiana. Adeline Nemeth has a team-leading three goals in seven games. Sienna Hurrell has been a constant force on the back line, making all seven starts, while Sydney Byrnes and Tori Bockstadter have also started matches this season.

"The freshman class has come in and killed it," said Lily Parker. "They're on fire and have played such a big role. All the freshmen have played well and been a big reason to how we've been successful so far."

Sunday represents the toughest task this season for the Ragin' Cajuns in LSU. The Cajuns head to Baton Rouge for the first time in over a decade looking for their first win over the Tigers in what'll be the 11th all-time match-up between the schools.

"We have a game plan and if we execute it expect to have a positive result," said Parker. "I'm confident in our team. It doesn't matter who we're playing, we come in with the same mindset and look to win."
