Congrats to Lotte, and also the whole UL soccer team! I haven't been to many of the games, but I know they've persevered through some tough times. It's good to see them atop the Sun Belt and doing so good. It'd be awesome if they get into the playoffs and have a game at Cajun Field. Whoop it up and get a big crowd for them girls! Geaux UL Ragin Cajuns!
God Bless.

LAKE CHARLES – Louisiana’s Lady Cajuns soccer team faces one of its toughest tests of the 2004 season here Friday with a Sun Belt Conference match-up against North Texas. The match is set to begin at 3 p.m. at the McNeese State Cowgirl Soccer Complex.
North Texas (10-4-1, 3-1-1 Sun Belt) holds a 4-0 advantage in the all-time series over Louisiana-Lafayette (7-5-2, 3-0-1 Sun Belt).
The Cajuns enter Friday’s match on a three-match winning streak, while the Mean Green is unbeaten in six of its last seven matches.
Last weekend, the Cajuns used two match-winning goals from the Sun Belt Player of the Week Lotte Rasmussen to stay unbeaten in conference action. UL Lafayette defeated Arkansas State 2-0 Friday and Arkansas-Little Rock 2-1 in double overtime on Sunday.
Following Friday’s match with North Texas, Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns will close out its “home” schedule Sunday against three-time defending Sun Belt Conference champion Denver in a 1 p.m. match in Lake Charles. Before the match, UL Lafayette will recognize Sherryl Owens, Courtney Kelly and Natalie Hanks during Senior Day festivities.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Louisiana’s Lady Cajuns soccer team will face its toughest conference road test in the 2004 season finale with a 2 p.m. match against the Sun Belt Conference first place Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders here Sunday at the Blue Raider Soccer Field.
With a win Sunday, the Cajuns could finish as high as fourth in the Sun Belt. A loss could drop the Cajuns as low as sixth heading into the conference tournament next week.
Louisiana (7-8-2, 3-3-1 Sun Belt) saw its three-match conference road unbeaten streak come to an end Friday with a 3-1 loss at Western Kentucky. Sophomore midfielder Rose Clemensen tallied her team-high sixth goal of the season for the Cajuns.
Meanwhile, Middle Tennessee (11-4-1, 5-1-1 Sun Belt) could clinch at least a share of the Sun Belt Conference regular season crown Sunday. The Blue Raiders exploded for five first-half goals Friday in their 5-1 victory over South Alabama.
UL is 2-2 all-time against Middle Tennessee. After a scoreless first half in last season’s meeting in the Swamp, the Blue Raiders scored four second half goals en route to a 4-0 win over the Cajuns.
Following Sunday’s match against Middle Tennessee, Louisiana’s Lady Cajuns will prepare for the 2004 Aeropostale Sun Belt Conference Women’s Soccer Tournament, which will be held November 3-6 in Miami, Fla., on the campus of Florida International University.

Dang! That sucks having to play Denver the first game again. Sounds like the ladies played a good, tough game. This program is starting to improve. They were very competitive in virtually all of their defeats this year. I look for good things next season. Congrats ladies! Keep working hard!
