New
Orleans, La. - Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns men's tennis
team came away with a huge 6-1 victory Sunday over the 75 ranked Privateers of
New Orleans. The match was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday but
rain forced the match to be postponed until Sunday afternoon.
The victory moves the Cajuns record to 2-0 on the season
and have earned 13 out of a possible 14 points in their two matches.
The doubles point was hard fought, but the Cajuns came
away with two victories and took the point. The Cajuns got doubles victories from Piotr Banas and partner Yanick Mandl and the team of Arlen Domoney and Javier Pulgar-Garcia.
In the singles portion the Cajuns got victories from the
top two people in their line-up. Banas
won a three set thriller 6-7, 6-4, 11-9. Pulgar-Garcia got a 6-1, 6-1 win from
the second position.
UNO's Vinay Kamineni beat Bradley Bristow for New Orleans' only win.
Also picking up wins for the Cajuns were Yanick Mandl
6-0, 6-2; Arlen Domoney 6-1, 6-2; and Neil Schneider 6-3, 4-6, 10-7.
“This was a great result, especially with it coming on
the road,” said Coach Mark Jeffrey about the Cajuns win. He added, “I hope that
the fans will get a chance to come watch this team when we return home.”
The Cajuns will be back in action Thursday February, 19
when the Cajuns travel to Thibodaux to take on Nicholls State at 1:30 p.m.
