This team should definitely make the conference tourny and Hall should get coach of the year, for the turnaround this team did this year.

Cajuns Avenge Early Season Loss to New Mexico State, 67-51

LAFAYETTE-As was the case for the last two seasons, Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns used inspiring performances from their seniors to propel the team to victory, as UL defeated New Mexico State 67-51 on Thursday night at Earl K. Long Gym.

Sharee Glenn scored 19 points, including a 5-of-9 spot from behind the
arc and added four assists, while Tiffany Washington added 17 points, nine rebounds and a pair of assists, blocks and steals.

The Cajuns carried a large 16-point lead into the second half thanks to 10 three-point baskets in the opening frame.

Washington converted in the paint off an Anna Petrakova pass to extend
the Cajuns lead to 50-29 with 14:50 to play.

The Aggies cut into the Cajuns lead in the next six minutes, but barely. Petrakova's free throw gave the hosts a 57-37 lead with less than 10 minutes remaining in the game.

A cold streak by the Cajuns allowed the Aggies to creep closer. An 11-1 run by New Mexico State closed the gap to 57-46 with 6:15 to play.

Washington ended the Cajuns scoreless streak at 5:01 with a
three-pointer. Good defense and a basket by Petrakova upped the hosts
lead to 62-46 with 4:30 showing on the clock.

UL continued to play great defense, holding the Aggies to only
three free throws over a 6:03 span to put a stranglehold on victory.

Petrakova led all players with 19 points and 12 rebounds, her eleventh
double-double of the season. Coming off a season-low 23 percent
shooting performance, the Cajuns shot 49 percent from the floor and 46
percent from three-point territory.

The win gives the Cajuns 13 on the season, which is the most in a season since 1987-88, a span of 16 seasons. Head coach J. Kelley Hall's 21 career wins are the fifth-most in school history.

The Aggies saw an early 6-2 lead disappear with a barrage of Cajuns
three-pointers. Bernette Tolston Glenn, Washington and Petrakova all
buried buckets from long distance to give the Cajuns a 14-8 advantage
with 13:21 to play in the first half.

The Cajuns kept dropping bombs over the next eight minutes. Petrakova, Washington, Glenn and Tolston all nailed their second triple to push the Cajuns lead to 28-18 at the 5:30 mark.

Glenn knocked home two more three's and added a jumper at the buzzer to put the Cajuns up 39-23 at the half.
