Introductions

     Hey guys! So, from being a former soccer player and always being a fan, I know that soccer isn't as well-received as other sports in the good ole U.S. of A.  And I especially understand that women's soccer is even less well-received than men's.  I'm not naive, I understand why people feel this way.

     But, I would like to invite you all to put your prejudices aside for a moment and really try to understand the beautiful game.  The rest of the world is fanatic about it; why can't Americans be?  I would also like to bring your attention to the fact that we lucky Ragin' Cajuns have our very own team to get excited about.  We don't even have to go very far to see the sport.  Actually, soccer is bigger in the Acadian area than people think.  It is the hub for youth soccer in Louisiana and actually a powerhouse in club and high school play.  Fortunately, for UL, there are a good number of Louisiana girls who have become Ragin' Cajuns to play soccer.  So, not only are you watching your fellow classmates at these games, you're watching the locals play.  UL is growing in prominence in the Sun Belt Conference because of this.

     If you're a sports fan, you can't leave out the women's soccer team.  They're an intense group who have a lot of passion for their sport.  They are always working to improve themselves individually and also as a team.  They play hard and deserve to get some attention for their efforts.  The love being Cajuns and supporting our school.  So, go out and support them!  Posts will keep coming so stay updated to learn more about women's soccer here at UL.
