Texas Trek Continues as Ragin’ Cajuns Take on Lions

COMMERCE, Texas – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Basketball team continues its stretch of road games in Texas on Wednesday, November 11, facing East Texas A&M at The Field House in Commerce, Texas.

Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., with live coverage on ESPN+ and The GOAT 103.3 FM and 1420 AM.

Louisiana (1-1) returns to action for the first time in six days after challenging Texas A&M in a 62-51 loss November 5 in College Station. The Ragin' Cajuns took a third-quarter lead before the Aggies responded.

Wednesday's matchup is the second of three consecutive games in Texas for UL, which concludes the stretch Monday, November 16, against UTSA in San Antonio.

The Ragin' Cajuns and Lions meet for the second straight season. East Texas A&M (1-2) won the programs' first meeting 72-47 last December in the Education Game at the Cajundome.

Malaya Jones (12.0 ppg) and Bailey Timmons (11.0 ppg) have led Louisiana offensively so far on the young season. Aminata Sowe, coming off a 13-point, 15-rebound double-double at Texas A&M, leads the way with 10.5 rebounds per contest.

ETAMU returns home for the first time since its season opener. The Lions dropped consecutive road games at Cincinnati and SMU, remaining tied or within striking distance during the fourth quarter of both contests.

Samantha Serrano and Rezia Castillo lead East Texas A&M offensively, each averaging double figures while combining for 28.4 points per game.

THINGS TO KNEAUX

In a rematch of last season's Education Game held at the Cajundome, Louisiana returns East Texas A&M's visit with Wednesday's matchup at The Field House in Commerce, Texas.
One season removed from meeting for the first time ever, the Ragin' Cajuns and Lions convene in Commerce for the first time.
It's the first of two consecutive return trips to the state of Texas for Louisiana which visited College Station last Thursday and will be back in the Lone Star State next Monday in San Antonio (at UTSA).
In last week's road debut, the Ragin' Cajuns claimed a third-quarter lead in College Station before Texas A&M closed the frame with a decisive run.
Newcomers Malaya Jones (12.0) and Bailey Timmons (11.0) are the early leaders offensively.
Aminata Sowe impressed in College Station with her 13-point, 15-rebound double-double. Sowe's 10.5 rebound average paces UL's average of 43 boards per game on the young season.
The Ragin' Cajuns roster for the 2026-27 season is a near-even balance with six returning players from last season's roster and nine newcomers.
The core group returning is highlighted by Preseason All-Sun Belt selection Imani Daniel, the team's leading returning rebounder (170 boards) and the SBC's top scoring freshman by average (12.7 ppg) in conference play last season.
Other familiar faces joining Daniel include: leading returning scorer and offensive threat Mikaylah Manley (419 points in 2025-26), fellow 300-plus point freshman scorer Amijah Price, three-point shooters Kahlen Norris and Jazmyne Jackson and a fully recovered Arionna Patterson.
Highly regarded JUCO guards Malaya Jones (Trinity Valley CC) and Kennedi Johnson (Tyler JC) provide additional experience in the backcourt while 6-foot-plus addition Aminata Sowe brings a newfound physical frontcourt presence not seen since Ty Doucet in 2021-22.

UP NEXT FOR LOUISIANA
Louisiana rounds out its string of three consecutive road games in the state of Texas on Monday, November 16 when the Ragin' Cajuns take on UTSA in San Antoino. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. from the Convocation Center.

It'll be the first UL-UTSA matchup since a Ragin' Cajuns visit to San Antonio back in December 1997.

Louisiana then returns to the Cajundome on Thursday, November 19 to face yet another foe from Texas, hosting Tarleton State in a 6:00 p.m. contest.
