OXFORD, Miss. – Junior Clara Mantaux collected a win in the Round of 32 in the Division II singles bracket to pace Louisiana Women's Tennis at the ITA Southern Regionals hosted by Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi.
MANTAUX LEADS THE CAJUNS: Mantaux began the day taking on Cristina Moll from Jacksonville University in the Round of 32 in the Division II singles bracket. Mantaux handled her business against Moll, winning the match in straight sets 7-5, 6-0 to move into the Round of 16.
In the Round of 16 Mantaux faced off with Tulane's Adelaide Lavery, who had a bye in the Round of 32, coming into her match against Mantaux fresh. It was a three-set battle from the get-go and Mantaux was determined to move on in the tournament, but she would eventually end up on the short end of the match, falling 6-7, 7-5, 5-7 to Lavery.
The first was pushed to a tiebreaker where Lavery held off Mantaux to win 7-6, but Mantaux stormed back in the second set, 7-5, to force a deciding third set. Although Lavery won that final set and the match, Mantaux put up a fight in the final set, barely missing another tiebreaker by one point.
OTHER CAJUNS RESULTS (Singles): In the Division I Round of 64 sophomore Floriane Picaut faced off with Mississippi State's Emma Antonaki. Picaut fell in straight sets 6-3, 6-4 to fall into the Division I Consolation bracket.
Sophomore Dana Radovanovic, also playing through the Division I bracket, faced off with Northwestern State's Polina Mutel in the Round of 64. Radovanovic dropped the match in straight sets, 6-1, 6-0, to move into the Division I Consolation bracket.
Both Radovanovic and Picaut dropped their first consolation matches, to wrap up their weekends. Picaut lost, 6-4, 6-4, to Alabama's Jacqueline Pelletier and Radovanovic lost in a three-set marathon, 1-6, 6-0, 11-9, to Arina Amaning from Southern Miss.
Louisiana junior Marina Rodriguez Garcia, playing through the Division II bracket, fell in the Round of 32 to Marina Vigil from Nicholls State in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, to wrap up her weekend.
OTHER CAJUNS RESULTS (Doubles): In the Division I doubles bracket, Picaut and Radovanovic faced off with Mississippi State's pairing of Janina Braun and Anastasia Rentouli. The Louisiana duo dropped their match, 8-3, to move into the consolation bracket where they lost to Auburn's pairing of Lindsay Song and Caroline Turner 8-2 to finish up their weekend.
Louisiana freshman Ai Noa Fabre paired up with Mantaux and the two Cajuns faced off with Northwestern State's duo of Ela Iwaniuk and Antonia Blattner, falling 8-6, to wrap up their weekend in doubles.
