LAFAYETTE — The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's tennis team didn't drop a set on the way to a shutout 4-0 victory over Alcorn State on Friday at Cajun Courts.
Abby Johnson started and ended the day strong for Louisiana, which moved to 3-6 with the win. Johnson and Lucile Delabarre teamed up for a dominant 6-0 win at No. 1 doubles.
The duo of Alexandra Way and Yasmine Ansari locked up the doubles point for the Cajuns with a 6-2 victory on Court 3.
The strong performance continued in singles, where the team picked up three straight-setters on the way to the shutout win.
Carla Ortega, who was close to a doubles win with Kelly Drew before the doubles point was clinched, had no trouble in her match at No. 5, earning a 6-0, 6-2 win to start the Cajuns off well in singles play.
Drew shortly followed her, picking up a 6-2, 6-2 victory at No. 3. Johnson clinched the match for the Cajuns, defeating Natalia Parchowska 6-3, 6-0 on Court 4.
