Bowling Green separates from Louisiana after closely matched first half
LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Basketball team had its 2025-26 season-opening contest slip away in the third quarter and was handed an 82-67 loss by Bowling Green on Monday, November 3 in a MAC-SBC Challenge matchup at the Cajundome.
Â
Bowling Green (1-0) scored the first nine points of the third quarter to expand its 39-37 halftime lead. Louisiana (0-1) could get no closer than eight points the rest of the way.
Â
Jazmyne Jackson and Mikaylah Manley combined for 10 field goal makes and 23 points in the first half, helping the Ragin' Cajuns keep pace with the Falcons who shot 56 percent (14-of-25) in the first 20 minutes.
Â
After the nine-point run out of the halftime break, Bowling Green used 10 free throw makes in the final seven minutes of the third quarter to protect the lead and fend off UL which had closed the deficit to 56-48 at 2:09 following a Stephanie Mosley pullup jumper.
Â
The Falcons enjoyed a 23-7 advantage on free throws made in the game – converting 15-of-18 from the line in the decisive second half.
Â
The free throw disparity offset Louisiana making more field goals than the visitors. The Ragin' Cajuns had 28 total made field goals to the Falcons 27 makes. Bowling Green's marksmanship, shooting 52 percent, made a comeback from UL improbable.

Â
