Louisiana Women to Host Old Dominion on Wednesday

Contest at the Cajundome wraps up a stretch of five straight games against the SBC’s eastern half

LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Basketball team begins the final month of the regular season on Wednesday, February 4 at the Cajundome taking on Old Dominion in a 6:00 p.m. Sun Belt Conference contest.
 
The Ragin' Cajuns are making a brief stop at home before returning to the road to start a three-game road trip on Saturday, February 7 with the MAC-SBC Challenge Round 2 game at Akron.
 
Live television coverage of the season's only scheduled meeting with Old Dominion is available on ESPN+. A radio broadcast is available on The GOAT 103.3 FM and 1420 AM in the Acadiana region and Varsity Sports worldwide.
 
Admission to Wednesday's contest – and all UL Women's Basketball games throughout the entire season – is free and open to the public. The Cajundome's clear bag policy and cashless concessions will be implemented.
 
Louisiana is completing a stretch of five consecutive games against eastern-based SBC teams.
 
The Ragin' Cajuns (2-20, 1-11 SBC) and Monarchs (13-10, 5-6 SBC) meet for the first time since the 2023-24 season and for just the third time in program history. ODU's last visit to the Cajundome came in January 2023.
 
Mikaylah Manley has taken charge for UL in the recent weeks, having scored in double digits five straight games including three 20-plus point efforts to take over the team lead in scoring (12.1). She's risen into the Top 25 amongst the leading scorers in the SBC.
 
The SBC top-scoring freshman duo of Amijah Price (11.2) and Imani Daniel (11.1) are back out on the court together following Daniel's return to action last week. They've both eclipsed the 200-points barrier in their collegiate rookie season.
 
ODU ranks Top 20 nationally in blocks (5.7) and rebounds (42.3) per game. Junior transfer forward Riley Stack is fourth in the nation and first in the Sun Belt with 64 blocks while Sophie Cunningham (6.0) leads a balanced group of six players averaging three or more rebounds.
