NON-CONFERENCE: Louisiana begins the 2019 season with a season and home opening doubleheader against Southern (10 a.m.) and Jackson State (2 p.m.) at Cajun Courts on Saturday, Jan. 19. The Ragin' Cajuns then continue their season opening stretch of four straight home matches with a matchup against McNeese State on Tuesday, Jan. 22 and Louisiana follows that up when Incarnate Word comes to Lafayette on Saturday, Jan. 26.
The Ragin' Cajuns hit the road for the first time when they make a quick weekend swing in northern Louisiana with a visit to Northwestern State on Saturday, Feb. 2, followed by a trip to Ruston, La., to take on Louisiana Tech on Sunday, Feb. 3. Louisiana then returns for another four-match home swing starting with Southeastern on Friday, Feb. 8.
After a two-week break, Louisiana welcomes Sam Houston State to Cajun Courts on Sunday, Feb. 24. Prairie View A&M then makes a visit to Cajun Courts when they play a doubleheader on Thursday, Feb. 28 and that doubleheader wraps up Louisiana's home non-conference schedule.
Louisiana wraps up its non-conference schedule with its first trip to the west coast since 2009, when the Ragin' Cajuns make a three-match California swing. The trip starts with a visit to San Francisco on Saturday, Mar. 2, followed quickly by a Sunday, Mar. 3 visit to Pacific.
The California swing ends with a visit to UC Irvine on Tuesday, Mar. 5. Ironically that is the same way that Louisiana ended its last California swing back in 2009, when the Ragin' Cajuns visited Loyola Marymount and CS Northridge, before finishing up in Irvine, Calf.
CONFERENCE: For the first time in Sun Belt Conference history, women's tennis will be playing through a true conference schedule playing against 10 conference programs throughout the months of March and April leading into the Sun Belt Conference Championships to be played at Peachtree City, Ga.
Louisiana begins the conference schedule with a home weekend against the Georgia schools, starting with Georgia Southern on Friday, Mar. 15 and the weekend wraps up on Saturday, Mar. 16 with Georgia State. The Ragin' Cajuns then head into Texas to take on the Texas schools when they head to San Marcos, Texas.
First, they will face off with the Texas State Bobcats on Saturday, Mar. 23, in San Marcos, Texas, before heading north to Arlington, Texas to play UT Arlington on Sunday, Mar. 24. Louisiana then returns to Cajun Courts on the next weekend when the Carolina schools come to Lafayette, starting with Appalachian State on Saturday, Mar. 30 and Coastal Carolina to finish the weekend on Sunday, Mar. 31.
Louisiana begins the month of April with a trip to Troy, Ala., where they face off with Troy on Saturday, Apr. 6, before heading to Mobile, Ala. to take on South Alabama, on Sunday, Apr. 7. The conference schedule wraps up with two more road trips, starting with a quick trip north to Monroe, La., to face off with ULM on Wednesday, Apr. 10. The regular season finishes up with a trip to Jonesboro, Ark., on Sunday, Apr. 14, when Louisiana faces Arkansas State.
