BRISTOL, Tenn. – No. 66 Louisiana Men's Tennis (14-4), despite two matches in singles going three sets, dropped its first match in two weeks, 7-0, to the East Tennessee State Buccaneers (7-3, 2-0 SOCON) in a match that was played indoors at the Bristol Racquet Club.
HOW IT HAPPENED (Doubles): Louisiana dropped the doubles point, to start in a 1-0 hole against the Bucs, when at No. 2 doubles the Louisiana duo of freshmen Jan Galka and Kacper Dwoark fell to the ETSU duo of Frazier Rengifo and Yusuf Khamis, 6-3. At No. 3 doubles, the Louisiana pairing of juniors Elio Lago and Jamie Fraser fell to Sergi Fontcuberta and David Gonzalez 6-4, giving ETSU the doubles point and a 1-0 lead heading into singles.
HOW IT HAPPENED (Singles): In singles junior Pearse Dolan, playing No. 2, fell in straight sets to Fontcuberta, 6-3, 6-4, and at No. 3 senior Arthur Libaud dropped his match to Juan Lugo, 6-2, 6-1. At No. 4 singles, Lago fell, 6-2, 6-1, to Khamis and at No. 5 singles Fraser fell to Gonzalez in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3.
It was at No. 1 and No. 6 singles where Louisiana almost took wins, with both of those matches going three sets before falling the way of ETSU. At No. 1, Galka took his first set, before dropping the second set and third set tiebreaker to Rengifo, 6-7, 7-5, 10-3. At No. 6, Dwoark nearly pulled off a big win, falling just short in the tiebreaker to Miguel Este, losing the tough match 2-6, 6-4, 10-8.
UP NEXT FOR THE CAJUNS: Louisiana has a quick turnaround, with the Ragin' Cajuns heading to Prairie View A&M for a doubleheader on Sunday, Mar. 3, against the Panthers with the first match starting at 1 p.m. and the second set for 4 p.m.
