Lindsay Brown (center) joined the Ragin’ Cajuns all-time career Top 5 list with her 1,188th dig Friday evening in a match with Florida Altantic. Brown ended the match with 28 digs – her eighth 20-plus performance of the season.

Florida Atlantic scored on the match’s final five rallies to erase a 14-11 deficit in the fifth set and escape Earl K. Long Gym with a 3-2 (25-22, 18-25, 25-18, 20-25, 16-14) victory over Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns Friday evening in a “Think Pink” match held in support of breast cancer research.

Louisiana (8-20, 2-11 Sun Belt) jumped in front in the final set on a kill by Mandi Gavin that made it 4-3. The Cajuns stretched the lead out to as many as four points, twice, with the last being 11-7 following a block thrown up by Bethany Fogler and Amie Goodwin.

In the end, the Owls (6-16, 4-9 Sun Belt) parlayed a 13-5 edge in kills to take the set and the match. Following a kill by Caroline Dufrene that put UL up 14-11, the Owls finished off the match with kills on five consecutive rallies.

The loss spoiled a milestone moment for Cajuns’ libero Lindsay Brown. With her 21st dig of the match, Brown joined the program’s all-time career Top 5 with her 1,188th career dig. She finished the evening with a match-high 28 digs – her eighth 20-plus performance of the season – to up her career total to 1,195.

Brown’s season total is now at 473, which puts her only 25 shy of setting the rally scoring era single-season record and joining the program’s all-time, single-season Top 5 list.

The Ragin’ Cajuns were led by 14 kills from Gavin. She finished with a .303 hitting percentage and recorded her ninth straight match with at least six kills.

Joining Gavin in double figures in kills were Fogler (13 kills, 5 errors, 23 attempts, .348 hitting percentage) and Ariel Krolikowski (10 kills). Krolikowski added 11 digs and Gavin 10, to record their sixth and first-ever double-doubles, respectively.

The Owls were spearheaded by a match-high 25 kills off the hands of Christina Wallinger. She added 12 digs and four blocks.

FAU threw down 18 kills which proved to be the difference in an otherwise tightly contested opening set. There were 13 tied scores and four lead changes with neither team gaining a lead larger than three points.

Louisiana recovered from losing an early 3-0 lead to take the second set. FAU scored on four straight rallies to pull in front 4-3. The Cajuns responded with a kill by Fogler and then five straight points off the serve of Brown to take control.

Up 14-11, the Cajuns created enough cushion with a 5-1 run. The run began with a Kendra Hall kill, then a kill by Dufrene was followed by a block solo from Fogler that made it 17-11. The Owls broke serve, then Louisiana came back with kills from Dufrene and Goodwin for a 19-12 lead.

The Owls crept within three points at 21-18, but a service error by Wallinger returned the serve to the Cajuns who scored three straight points off of Goodwin’s serve to complete the set victory.

In a similar script to the second set, the Owls erased a 3-0 UL lead at the start of the third set. Only this time, the Cajuns didn’t recover. The key point came when a Wallinger kill allowed FAU to tie the set at 8-all, then an attack error by Goodwin put the visitors in the lead. A Cintia Nigthingale ace was followed by a kill from Kristyna Dzmuranova that made it 11-8.

Leading 11-9, the Owls used a 6-2 spurt the push their advantage to 17-11 and never looked back.

The Cajuns out-killed FAU 16-12 in the fourth set and hit .243 to put themselves in the position to take the match in the fifth set.

The squads started the fourth set going back-and-fourth through the first eight rallies. Fogler notched kills on three straight rallies to put the Ragin’ Cajuns in command at 7-4. The hosts never looked back and posted a 25-20 victory that evened the match.

Louisiana will take Saturday to regroup and prepare for Sunday’s match with Sun Belt Conference powerhouse FIU. The Golden Panthers will bring a 22-2 (12-0 Sun Belt) record into a Saturday afternoon match at Louisiana-Monroe before traveling to Lafayette to meet the Cajuns.

UL and FIU will serve it up at 1 p.m., from Earl K. Long Gym on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Volleyball:Brown Digging Into Volleyball Record Book

Oct. 29, 2009
http://www.ragincajuns.com

Lindsay Brown (center) is quickly moving up the career digs charts at Louisiana. She enters this weekend needing only 20 to join the program’s all-time career Top 5 and 33 to become only the fifth player to reach 1,200 in a career.

Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns volleyball libero Lindsay Brown is quickly becoming one of the top defensive players in program history.
The Yorba Linda, Calif., native came to Louisiana as an outside hitter and then switched to libero as a sophomore in the 2008 season.

What she’s done has been nothing short of impressive as she has tallied at least 300 digs each season in her career and is currently putting the finishing touches on her second consecutive season with 400-plus digs.

Earlier this season, she became only the second player in the rally scoring era (Erika Castro the other) to surpass 1,000 career digs.

Now she’s only 20 digs shy of cracking the all-time program career Top 5.

Brown enters this weekend’s matches against Florida Atlantic and FIU with 1,167 career digs. With 21 more, she will pass Priscilla Lima (1,187) into fifth place and put herself on the doorstep of becoming only the fifth player in program history to reach 1,200 career digs.

Brown’s track record has placed her on pace to finish with the most career digs in the rally scoring era (currently 1,589 by Erika Castro). This season, she has reached double figures in digs in 24 of the Cajuns’ 27 matches and reached 20-plus seven times including her career-best 32 vs. North Texas.

Dating to last season, Brown has posted double figures in digs in 37 of her past 41 appearances on the court.

Career marks are not the only records that Brown is on the verge of reaching. She’s preparing to etch her name into the single-season records also.

She has 445 digs this season which surpasses her previous best of 405 set last season.

The rally era best for digs in a season is 497 (Erika Castro in 2007), while the overall program single-season mark is 599 set by Jennifer Autry (1990).

Brown is on pace to finish with 543 which would mark only the fifth 500-plus digs season ever in program history and first since Gina Calegari posted 549 in 1997, and give her the rally scoring era single-season record.

Volleyball: Brown Receives Player of the Week Honors

August 31, 2009

Following a weekend in which she logged five digs per set, Louisiana’s Lindsay Brown was named Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

A strong defensive showing at the Comfort Suites/SHSU Invitational in which she logged five digs per set led to Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns volleyball libero Lindsay Brown being selected Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week on Monday.
Brown, who led the Sun Belt in digs per set in league play last season, picked up right where she left off to start the 2009 campaign. In the Ragin’ Cajuns opening weekend at Sam Houston State, Brown collected 70 digs over 14 sets for an average of 5.00 digs per set.

She reached double figures in digs each match, with her total increasing each time out. Brown tied her career-high with 25 digs in the championship match against Sam Houston State.

Her performance was without blemish as she did not commit a single reception error the entire weekend.

Dating back to last season, Brown is now on a string of 10 consecutive matches with double-digit digs and has reached double figures in 17 of her last 18 appearances on the court.

After the first weekend of play, she leads the Sun Belt Conference in digs per set.

The honor is the first for Brown in her career and first for Louisiana since Sept. 24, 2007 when Erika Castro was named SBC Defensive Player of the Week.
