MONROE – The Louisiana Women's Basketball team makes a stop in Monroe on Saturday, January 17 for a rematch with ULM. The game is set to tip off at Noon inside Fant-Ewing Coliseum.
 
The Ragin' Cajuns (1-16, 0-7 SBC) led for 35 minutes during last Thursday's matchup at the Cajundome before the Warhawks (7-9, 2-5 SBC) pulled off a stunner in the final five minutes.

Coverage of the rematch between the two in-state SBC foes is available on ESPN+ and The GOAT 103.3 FM and 1420 AM.
 
Saturday’s contest also wraps up a brief two-game road trip for the Ragin’ Cajuns who started this week’s trek in Jonesboro, Arkansas on Thursday. Arkansas State’s frenetic pace disrupted Louisiana’s rhythm lending to the 75-34 result.

Louisiana is completing a stretch of eight consecutive games against teams from the western region of the SBC. Starting with next week’s home matchups against Coastal Carolina (Jan. 21) and App State (Jan. 24), the Ragin’ Cajuns play five straight against eastern-based SBC teams.

UL has won 20 of the last 23 vs. ULM dating back to February 2015 and holds a 21-7 edge in Garry Brodhead's tenure. The Warhawks have found recent success, though, splitting the series the previous two seasons and made it wins in three of the last five matchups with the January 8 decision at the Cajundome.

Louisiana's roster features two of the top scoring freshmen in the SBC: Amijah Price (12.8 ppg) and Imani Daniel (11.4). Price has provided a scoring boost off the bench in 16 of her 17 contests while Daniel leads in offensive (42) and defensive (64) rebounds and eclipsed the century mark for overall rebounds last Saturday.

ULM features a balanced scoring attack with six different players averaging at least 6.7 points per game led by double-digit scorer J'Mani Ingram (12.7). The Warhawks have fared well at home, sporting a 6-2 record and on Wednesday challenged Troy – holding a halftime lead – during an 86-80 contest at Fant-Ewing Coliseum.
