LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's basketball team jumped out to a fast start and didn't look back on the way to defeating Texas State 62-43 on Thursday at the Cajundome.
Louisiana (17-9, 11-6 SBC) used 20 points from Jaylyn Gordon while Nekia Jones added 12 points to help the Cajuns secure an important Sun Belt Conference win.
Texas State (16-12, 11-6 SBC) is now tied with Louisiana in fourth place in the Sun Belt standings with one game remaining in the regular season for each team.
If Louisiana defeats UTA on Saturday and Troy loses to league-leader Little Rock, Louisiana will secure the No.
