LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Women's Basketball team is back at the Cajundome on Thursday, January 8 to face ULM in a 5:00 p.m. contest which begins the final portion of a five-game homestand that began last week.
It's the first game of a doubleheader involving the UL and ULM men's squads.
The Ragin' Cajuns (1-13, 0-4 SBC) and Warhawks (6-7, 1-3 SBC) begin their season series and play the first of two matchups over 10-days (UL visits Monroe on January 17). Live coverage is available on ESPN+ and The GOAT 103.3 FM and 1420 AM.
Admission to Thursday’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.
The ULM contest marks the fourth outing on UL's current five-game homestand which concludes on Saturday, January 10 vs. Texas State at 3:00 p.m.
The Ragin’ Cajuns are crossing over into the second half of the regular season during Thursday’s outing.
Louisiana has won 20 of the last 22 vs. ULM dating back to February 2015 and holds a 21-6 edge in Garry Brodhead's tenure. The Warhawks have found recent success, though, splitting the series the last two seasons.
Freshman Amijah Price has been the headliner in the homestand, leading the Ragin' Cajuns in scoring the first three games. Starting with a season-high 30 points vs. Dillard, Price delivered three consecutive double-digit scoring games on the opening week of the homestand capped off by her SBC-best 24 points vs. South Alabama.
Price (13.3 ppg) and fellow freshman Imani Daniel (11.9 ppg) give UL the top two scoring freshmen in the SBC – both also leading the team in scoring. Price has provided the Cajuns a boost off the bench in 13 of her 14 contests while Daniel leads in offensive (33) and defensive (59) rebounds and is on the verge of eclipsing 100 rebounds.
ULM features a balanced scoring attack as five different players average at least 7.2 points per game led by double-digit scorer J'Mani Ingram (12.3). The Warhawks rank Top 50 nationally in offensive rebounds with nine different players having pulled down double figures.
