The football team lost to UL-Lafayette on Saturday in Lafayette with a score of 36-35, making it the second-straight loss to the Ragin’ Cajuns by one point.

ULM (2-7, 1-4) met Lafayette in their final game of last season, and lost by one point due to a blocked field goal.

The block field goal didn’t only add to the bitter rivalry between the two teams, it also kept the Warhawks from going to a bowl game.

This time the teams met, and like usual, they put on a show for the fans, which broke Lafayette’s stadium record attendance with over 29,000.

ULM went up early and fast 14- 0, but allowed Lafayette to score 24 straight to lead at the half 24-14.

ULM came out and scored on the opening drive of the second half, and would go up as much as 35-24 in the fourth quarter with under less than seven minutes to play.

Unfortunately, Lafayette roared back and scored 12 straight points to end the game and seal the win.

Running back Jyruss Edwards scored a career-high four touchdowns in the game, three rushing and one receiving for 102 total all-purpose yards.

The Warhawks play Middle Tennessee in their next game on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
