LAFAYETTE, La. – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's tennis team swept Xavier (La.) 6-0 on a frigid Wednesday afternoon at Bourgeois Courts to remain undefeated at home this season.

The Cajuns (6-2) are now 3-0 at home, while the Gold Nuggets fall to 1-2 on the year.

"The guys competed really well in the cold conditions," head coach Mark Jeffrey said. "They really supported one another well in the win."

In singles competition, Louisiana dropped just one set in the six matches. Sophomore Jake Wynan notched a team-leading fifth win defeating Nikita Soifer 6-1, 6-2 on court two.

Jarred Wynan had a strong 6-0, 6-0 performance on court three against Tushar Mandlekar to pick up his fourth win of the year, while freshman Will Huyton also reached four wins on the season besting Jordan Harrell at the No.5 spot, 6-0, 6-3.

On court six, senior Elliot Minvielle claimed his first victory of the spring defeating Vincenzo Ciccone 6-1, 6-1.

Louisiana returns to action on Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 1 p.m. as the Cajuns play host to Texas A&M - Corpus Christi at Cajun Courts.

"We look forward now to Corpus Christi on Tuesday where we hope to compete and really get after it," Jeffrey added.
