Make it ten in a row for the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns (20-3, 10-0 Sun Belt) with another solid performance on Saturday afternoon against UL Monroe (9-12, 3-7 Sun Belt) by the score of 80-59.
It was all Cajuns from the outset as they got out to an 11-3 lead before the first media timeout. The Cajuns never looked back and quickly made it a 12-point ballgame with 10:40 left until halftime. The Warhawks did fight back and brought the Cajuns lead down to four points, but were unable to turn the tide in their favor as the Cajuns held onto a five point lead at the break.
After an early back and forth, the Cajuns really began to put the boots to the Warhawks increasing their lead to 21 points with 12:41 left in regulation. Bryce Washington put the final nail in the Warhawks with 3:57 left in the ballgame.
The Cajuns will stay on the road and head up to Georgia on Thursday to take on the Georgia State Panthers (17-6, 8-2 Sun Belt) with tipoff set for 6:15 pm.
