In a game where the Lady Mavericks (8-11, 3-6) shot a season-best 60 percent from the floor, they lost 63-52 against the Ragin’ Cajuns (15-4, 8-2).
The women’s basketball team was competitive with the second best team in the conference but its own mistakes led to its undoing.
The game went back and forth between University of Lousiana Lafayette and UTA, but the Cajuns took a 14-11 lead after the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Lady Mavs were down by 10 with 6:26 left in the half. It looked like the Cajuns were going to run away with it, as they normally do at home, but then the Lady Mavs made a run.
