LAFAYETTE – The eighth seeded Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's tennis team opens up the Sun Belt Conference Women's Tennis Championships, on Thursday, Apr. 19, with a 7:00 a.m. CT matchup against the ninth seeded Georgia Southern Eagles.
HOW TO LISTEN/TRACK THE MATCH: The match will be broadcast across the radio on RadioTennis.com and live stats will be provided for the match by the Sun Belt Conference.
DREW GETS FIRST-TEAM: Senior Kelly Drew was named to the 2018 All-SBC First-Team in singles and she became the first member of the Cajuns to gain the honor since Ariana Urantani was named to the 2001 All-SBC Team. Drew's highlight win came against South Alabama when she took down Alexandria Stiteler, then nationally-ranked No. 90, in straight sets, 7-6(6), 6-4, on Mar. 1.
WHAT THE EAGLES BRING: This is the first matchup between the Cajuns and Eagles in each school's history and the Eagles enter as the ninth seed, carrying a 13-6 record into the conference championships. Georgia Southern brings a six-match winning streak into the match with the Cajuns and their past three wins have come against SBC competition taking down Georgia State, Appalachian State, Arkansas State.
          Â
The Eagles snagged two All-SBC Team awards, with Arianne de Winter getting named to the second-team in singles and the pairing of de Winter and Paula Boixader were named to the second-team in doubles.
IF THE CAJUNS WIN: If Louisiana wins their first-round match, they'll move onto the quarterfinals where they'll match up with the No. 1 seeded Troy Trojans on Friday, Apr. 20 with that match scheduled to start at 7:00 a.m. CT.
