Soccer: Oliver, Cajuns Post Historic Night
LAFAYETTE– Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns women’s soccer team dominated the ULM Warhawks Friday night earning the win 5-2. The Cajuns scored early and often throughout the night to earn their fifth win of the season. The five goals scored by the Cajuns were the most by any UL team in school history against a Sun Belt opponent. The Cajuns finished the season with a 5-12-2 record and 3-7-1 in SBC play.
Senior forward Callie Oliver had a hat trick and junior Courtney Hofland added two goals of her own in the win. Three seniors had assists in the game as well.
When asked about the historic and emotional evening Oliver smiled and responded, “It was a lot of fun!” ULM opened up the scoring less than a minute in when Kelly Browne dribbled down the right side and successfully chipped the goalkeeper.
Louisiana responded less than two minutes later. In the third minute Heather Fuller was denied a goal by the Warhawks goalkeeper; however the ball found its way to Callie Oliver who put the ball in the net for her fifth goal of the season.
Oliver scored again less than three minutes later when she got a break away on the right side and beat the keeper to her left. Oliver’s second goal put her in the UL record books for most career goals.
The Cajuns took a 2-1 lead into halftime.
The scoring continued in the second half. The Cajuns opened up the scoring in the 52nd minute when Courtney Hofland gathered a pass from Erika Saffer and put the ball in the top left corner. Hofland’s goal tied her for most career goals all-time; however that record didn’t last long.
Oliver scored her third goal of the night six minutes later. It was the first hat-trick in UL history. Heather Fuller assisted on Oliver’s goal. Oliver finished her senior season with seven goals.
Hofland netted her second goal of the game five minutes later. Hofland stole the ball and ran down the left side and beat the goalie on the left side. Heather Ulliman assisted on the Hofland goal.
ULM scored a goal in 89th minute to give them two goals in the game.
