LAST TIME OUT –

The ULM Warhawks took the win over the UL-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns in a 3-1 contest in Monroe. This extends ULM's unbeaten streak over the Cajuns to four. An early save for Jen Handy gave way to a Warhawk-heavy contest. After a yellow card was handed to Madelyn Linenkugel, it was a free kick from Ines de Lope Casanova that led to an own-goal from the Cajuns. ULM captured the lead in the 12th minute, as the visitors worked to erase their error. The opportunity came just three minutes later, when Miki Kurihara's free kick curved past Handy for the equalizer.

The Warhawks made quick work to defend their side of the pitch. But the teams were knotted at one at halftime. In the 52nd minute, a pass from Jade Bowé allowed for de Lope to score her sixth goal of the season. ULM's defense, paired with six saves from Handy, prevented any additional scores from the opponent. Following a second yellow card for ULL in the 73rd minute, another foul came for the Cajuns, as Amy Sharkey took her second penalty kick of the season to secure the 3-1 victory.

#1 IN GOAL –

Jen Handy returns for a third season in goal for the Warhawks after earning the starting role in her first.
