FOR STARTERS
After running through pre-conference play with a perfect 10-0 mark, the Ragin' Cajuns embark on the Sun Belt portion of their slate this week with three matches in five days. Louisiana opens up SBC action at home vs South Alabama, looking to snap a four-match losing streak to Jaguars dating back to 2011. UL then goes on the road against UALR and UT Arlington. The Cajuns will be looking to stay hot against the Trojans, ahving won four of the last five in the series, and will be looking for their first-ever win over the Mavericks.
