Mid-week matchups are scheduled with four in-state schools and include a home date with Southern (Sept. 8) and road contests at Northwestern State (Sept. 1), Southeastern Louisiana (Sept. 29) and McNeese State (Oct. 20).
Overall, Louisiana is scheduled to compete in 13 non-conference matches and a 16-match Sun Belt Conference slate that opens Sept. 18 at UT Arlington.

The Cajuns open tournament play against Houston at 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 28 and also face Texas Tech (Aug. 28) and Utah State (Aug. 29).

The home portion of the SBC slate begins on Sept. 25 against in-state foe ULM.
After hosting Arkansas State (Oct. 2) and Appalachian State (Oct. 3) to start October, Louisiana plays six of the next eight Sun Belt matches on the road to finish the month.
