Ragin’ Cajuns placing finishing touches on the fifth season of the Kristi Gray era
STATESBORO, Ga. – The Louisiana Volleyball team puts the finishing touches on the 2025 season in a cross-division SBC series with Georgia Southern on the road at Hanner Fieldhouse in Statesboro, Georgia from Thursday-Friday, November 13-14.
The two-match series in Statesboro concludes play in the 2025 season for the Ragin' Cajuns (14-10, 6-8 SBC). It's the program's first visit to Hanner Fieldhouse in six years (last appeared in October 2019).
Play begins at 5:00 p.m. (CST) on both Thursday and Friday night. Both matches will air live on ESPN+.
Senior opposite hitter Cailin Demps makes her final push toward and attempt to reach the 1,000-career kills mark. She enters the series needing 44 kills to collect the career milestone. Last week vs. ULM, Demps pushed past 300 kills for the season, marking a new career-high total and first time reaching the mark.
Freshman Lindsey Henry looks to add to her team-leading blocks total, currently at 80 (7 BS, 73 BA). She's locked in to become the first true freshman to lead UL in blocks since Chanelle Gardner (99) in 2013.
The Ragin' Cajuns are two wins away from matching its highest finish above .500 with Kristi Gray (19-13 in 2023). Two more wins would also bring the squad to the second-highest win total of Gray's tenure.
