Cajuns continue homestand with matches against Lamar, SLU

LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns soccer team played a back-and-forth game against Southern Miss and fell 2-1 on Sunday at the Ragin' Cajuns Soccer/Track Facility.
 
Louisiana (1-3) scored first in the 2nd minute on a goal by freshman mid-fielder Celine Rumpf – the first of her career – from the top of the box.
 
The teams, who went through a two-and-a-half hour delay due to lightning prior to the match, were held scoreless for the remainder of the first half.
 
"Overall in the first half I thought we were excellent," head coach Scot Wieland said. "I thought we controlled the game and we defended the way we needed to defend."
 
Southern Miss (3-0) added an equalizer goal in the 54th minute from Beth Coleman off an assist from Stephanie Garcia.
 
The Golden Eagles took a 2-1 lead in the 65th minute on a goal from Becky McMullan. Garcia was again credited with the assist.
 
Southern Miss was able to hold on to the lead and goalkeeper Brittany Taylor made a key save in the final minutes to help preserve the win.
 
"Southern Miss is a good, fast athletic team," Wieland said. "We just let it get away from us. I'm proud of the step we took today."
 
Louisiana senior midfielder Yazmin Montoya had five shots in the match while junior forward Ashleigh Cade recorded four shots.
 
Ragin' Cajuns goalkeeper Cosette Morche had seven saves in her 2016 debut. Taylor recorded four saves for the Golden Eagles.
 
Louisiana returns to action on Friday, Sept. 2 at 6 p.m. when it hosts Lamar. The Ragin' Cajuns close out next weekend with a home match against Southeastern Louisiana on Sunday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m.
