Soccer: Ashleigh Cade Wins Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week

 

LAFAYETTE – Senior Ashleigh Cade has been named Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Week for her two goal, one assist and five-point performance against Georgia Southern on Sept. 24. 
           
Cade assisted senior Denice Emokpae in the fourth minute on a throw-in before scoring herself four minutes later in the seventh minute.  Her second goal, coming in the 42nd minute, turned out to be the game-winning goal when it was all said and done, making her brace key to the Cajuns big victory over the weekend.
           
For Cade and the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns it was a week of firsts, the brace was the first of Cade’s career, the five points were the most she’s had in a game and for the Cajuns it’s the first weekly honor received this season.
           
Cade, who hails from Bonney Lake, Wash., has been a big contributor for the Cajuns all season, with her throw-ins being a massive part of the Cajuns attack and she’s coming off a 2016 season where she finished with 11 assists that, at the end of the season were the fifth most in the country. 
           
The weekly award is the first one earned by a Cajuns player since senior Yazmin Montoya earned the honor on Sept. 27, 2016.
           
Louisiana returns to the pitch to host Coastal Carolina at 7:00 p.m. this Friday on Sept. 29 on what will be the Pediatric Cancer Awareness Game.  Come out and support the Cajuns and Cade as they look to continue their great start to the conference season.
