Ragin' Cajuns to have at least 10 matchups with teams ranked in ITA's final 2022 poll
LAFAYETTE - Head coach Luc Godin has prepared a schedule that will challenge the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Men's Tennis team and prepare them for postseason-caliber contests in the Spring 2023 dual match season. In addition to the accepted invite to participate in the ITA Kickoff Weekend, the Ragin' Cajuns are scheduled for an additional eight matches with teams coming off of nationally ranked finishes in 2022.
In all, Louisiana (17-6, 4-2 Sun Belt in 2022) is slated to play at least 10 matches against teams ranked in the ITA's final Top 75 ranking of 2022. The list includes: Tennessee (No. 6), LSU (No. 33), Oklahoma (No. 34) Washington (No. 39), Texas Tech (No. 41), Charlotte (No. 48), Georgia State (No. 62), South Alabama (No. 68), Old Dominion (No. 70), Florida Gulf Coast (No. 73) and Portland (No. 74).
Godin's second dual match season leading the Ragin' Cajuns officially begins Sunday, January 15 in Lubbock, Texas against Texas Tech. It's the second straight year the team visits Lubbock, with Louisiana looking for repeated success of last spring's 4-1 win over the Red Raiders.
Louisiana travels to the Pacific Northwest the following weekend, continuing the string of battles with ranked teams from 2022 by facing Washington (Jan. 20) and Portland (Jan. 21) in Seattle.Â
January closes with the team's much anticipated appearance in the ITA Kickoff Weekend, the premier regular season tournament in collegiate tennis. Louisiana was placed in the Knoxville, Tennessee Regional and will be joined by No. 6 Tennessee, No. 34 Oklahoma and No. 48 Charlotte. The Ragin' Cajuns are slated to face the host-Vols in the opening round on Friday, January 27 and will be paired with either the Sooners or 49ers on Saturday, January 28. The winner of the regional final (featuring Friday's two winners) advances to the ITA Indoor National Championships in Champaign, Ill., hosted by the University of Illinois.
February starts with the home-opening weekend from Friday-Saturday, February 3-4 at Cajun Courts, with the Ragin' Cajuns hosting the Louisiana Winter Classic tournament that weekend.
In mid-February, Louisiana travels to Corpus Christi, Texas to defend its title at the H-E-B Tournament of Champions from Friday-Saturday, February 17-18. In the 2022 edition of the prestigious event, Louisiana's three-match sweep of the event was highlighted by wins over ETSU and UTSA. The bracket for the 2023 event will be released in early February.
A pair of in-state showdowns on the road - at LSU (Feb. 26) and at Tulane (March 3) - precede the Ragin' Cajuns return to Cajun Courts in early March. A matchup with Florida Gulf Coast on Tuesday, March 7 starts a stretch in which the team plays five of its next six matches at Cajun Courts through Sunday, April 2.
Following the FGCU tilt, Louisiana opens Sun Belt Conference play on the road in Conway, South Carolina facing Coastal Carolina on Saturday, March 18, then returns to Cajun Courts for a four-match homestand that features Troy and South Alabama (March 25-26) followed by James Madison and Old Dominion (April 1-2).
Sun Belt regular season play rounds out with three consecutive road matches starting Saturday, April 8 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi at Southern Miss followed by a weekend set in Georgia from Saturday-Sunday, April 15-16 (Georgia State, Georgia Southern). A few short days later, Louisiana returns to Georgia for the Sun Belt Conference Tournament set for April 20-23 at the Peachtree City Tennis Center in Peachtree City, Georgia.

The Ragin' Cajuns add newcomers Evan Edwards, William Ribero and Thomas Garbarino.Â
