LAFAYETTE – For the first time since 2005, and only the second time in school history, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns will take part in the Preseason Women's National Invitation Tournament hosting the New Orleans Privateers, on Friday at 7 p.m., opening their regular season with a first-round matchup at the Cajundome.
The Cajuns finished the 2016-17 season with a 20-11 record and they didn't make a trip to the postseason. But they did finish the season strong making the longest run in the Sun Belt Conference tournament since 2007, as they made it all the way to the championship game before falling to Troy.
