LAFAYETTE – In the sweltering heat senior Ashleigh Cade set the net on fire with two goals and an assist to help the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's soccer team win their Sun Belt Conference home opener, 3-2, holding off a late charge from the Georgia Southern Eagles on Sunday here at the Ragin' Cajuns Soccer/Track Complex.
It's the best game of Cade's career with the brace being the first time she's accomplished the feat and the assist means five points in a game for the first time in her career as well.
The win improves the Cajuns record to 5-4-1 (2-0-1 SBC) and it's the best start to conference play Louisiana has had since going 3-0-1 in 2007 to start off the conference.
