LAFAYETTE – Louisiana could not have asked for a better start to the 2021-22 season, dominating on both sides of the floor to pick up an impressive 84-58 victory over Texas A&M-Kingsville on Tuesday night.
Freshman Tamera Johnson led the way, scoring a game-high 16 points to pace four Ragin' Cajuns in double figures. Johnson finished the night 6-for-7 from the floor and 2-for-3 from long range as the team shot 48 percent (29-for-60) overall and 44 percent (8-for-18) from behind the arc.
A trio of returners joined Johnson, with Brandi Williams adding 12 points to open her campaign and Ty'Reona Doucet and Makayia Hallmon adding 10 points apiece.
