LAFAYETTE, La. – Four Cajuns scored in double figures and the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's basketball team shot 46 percent from the floor to record a 69-44 victory over LSU-Alexandria on Wednesday night at the Cajundome.
Keke Veal led all scorers with 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting from the floor while Kia Wilridge (15), Gabby Alexander (14) and Simone Fields (10) also reached the double figure plateau. Fields, who finished the game 5-of-5 from the field was joined by Jasmin Mills in recording a team-high six boards.
For the Lady Generals, four players recorded a team-high eight points – Kelsey Thibodeaux, Taylor Maricle, Reagan Maricle and Bianca Harvey.
LSU-A hung close with the Cajuns through the first 10 minutes of play as a three-pointer by Kayla Morgan at the 9:23 mark evened the contest at 18-all.
However, Louisiana began to pull away using an 11-0 run over the next three minutes to make it a 29-18 contest. The Cajuns run was highlighted by six points from Fields with Veal and Alexander also adding to the spurt.
A layup by Reagan Maricle made it 29-20 but that would be the closest the Lady Generals would get the rest of the first half as the Cajuns took a 36-20 lead into the break.
Louisiana continued to stretch out its advantage in the opening minutes of the second period as Jaylyn Gordon knocked down the Cajuns' first triple for a 41-22 score. Wilridge followed with back-to-back layups to give Louisiana its largest lead up until that point at 45-22 with 15:59 to play.
LSU-A attempted to trim away its deficit with buckets from Morgan and Thibodeaux but Louisiana pushed the lead to 26 after two free throws from Alexander with 12:49 remaining.
Louisiana continued to hold a comfortable advantage the rest of the contest with the Lady Generals only getting as close as a 22 points.
