LAS VEGAS – Thanks to 42 points from their bench and a near perfect stretch at the free throw line in the last three minutes of the game, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's basketball team outlasted the Niagara Purple Eagles, 68-52, to win their first game at the South Point Thanksgiving Shootout here in Las Vegas at the South Point Arena.
The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Cajuns, and it improves their record to 2-3. It's also the first win, in the first ever meeting between the two schools, for Louisiana against Niagara.
