LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Basketball team came away victorious, 92-47, over LSU-Alexandria on Thursday, October 23 at the Cajundome in its first exhibition game of the 2025-26 season.
Â
Junior transfer Mikaylah Manley and freshman Imani Daniel scored 19 points apiece to lead a group of five Ragin' Cajuns who scored in double figures. Bianca Silva (13), Stephanie Mosley (13) and Amijah Price also recorded double digits.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns shot 45 percent on 35-of-77 shooting and had double the field makes as LSUA which was held to 17-of-51 shooting. UL finished with a positive assist-to-turnover ratio, passing out 17 helpers while committing only 15 turnovers, and out-rebounded the Generals 54-25 buoyed by 25 offensive rebounds.
Â
Daniel added 15 rebounds to notch a double-double in her first collegiate action. Her boards were split evenly on both ends of the court, finishing with eight offensive rebounds and seven defensive rebounds.
Â
Sliva and Price directed the offense to the tune of six assists and four assists, respectively. Silva was the second-leading rebounder with eight boards.
Â
Nine members of the new-look Ragin' Cajuns – each individual in their first year with the program – saw playing time for the first time in a game setting at the Cajundome. Every single one registered at least one point.
Â
Louisiana scored 20-plus points every quarter in registering its highest output in regulation (exhibition or regular season) since scoring the same amount on Jan. 13, 2022 vs. Troy.
