Senior Kayla Henrie scored her first goal of the season in the 53rd minute, tying the game 1-1 after she placed a shot from just inside the 18. UL took the lead less than a minute later after senior Erin Lynn played a ball through to Hayden Gibson whose cross was one timed by senior Maci Andrus. Andrus’ third goal of the season gave the Cajuns a 2-1 advantage. Offensively, Gibson led the way with six shots, four being on target. She also notched her third assist of the season. Freshmen goalkeepers Cory DeMaro and Claire Steward played their first significant minutes as a Cajun with DeMaro earning her first win, posting two saves in net for the Cajuns.
