LAFAYETTE – A change in venue due to rainy conditions could not hold back the Ragin' Cajuns, who battled their way to a 4-3 thrilling victory over Prairie View A&M on Thursday.

Momoko Yoshimura quickly took care of Ruju Chauhan, 6-2, 6-1, in singles play before Carla Urchoeguia (6-4, 6-2) and Kashyap (6-2, 6-2) propelled the Cajuns to a 3-1 lead.
The Panthers stormed back with wins on Courts 1 and 2 to tie things up at 3-3.
With the match on the line, Santiago went the distance with Salma Villalobos on Court 6, but ultimately prevailed by a score of 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, to lock up the 4-3 win.
