"I'm really proud of all the girls," said Harkins. "They worked really hard and everyone contributed. It's tough to start with a double header out of the gate but everyone was tested and put up a tough fight."
In the first match against South Alabama, UL downed the Lady Jags, 6-1, winning five of the singles matches.
Milou Israel and Sandra Ahlqvist stood out in the singles competition with each posting 6-0, 6-0 wins in their respective matches.
In the day's second dual match against McNeese State, the Cajuns got off to a hot start and claimed the doubles' point, winning all three matches.
But the Cowgirls held their own in the singles. Israel, along with Julie Mazinova and Mia Gordon won their respective matches to claim the 4-3 win.
