Ragin' Cajuns close out perfect run through February's stretch of road outings
HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The No. 39-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Men's Tennis team picked up the doubles point, grabbed the first singles win and went on to cruise past Southern Miss, 6-1, on Saturday, Feb. 26 at the Southern Miss Tennis Complex in Hattiesburg, Miss.
The win was the 10th consecutive for Louisiana (11-1), representing the program's longest win streak since the 2014 won the exact same amount. The run of success dates back to Jan. 28 at Cajun Courts.
The Ragin' Cajuns also continued the program's best start to a season in the 2000s era and concluded a perfect run through a February-long series of road outings that took the team from Houston (Feb. 5-6), to Lubbock, Texas (Feb. 11-12), to Corpus Christi, Texas (Feb. 18-19) to Saturday's outing in Hattiesburg.
Louisiana was never in danger of falling behind USM (2-4) as Calin Postea's quick 6-2, 6-3 win at No. 5 singles opened up a 2-0 match lead.
Shortly after the Golden Eagles got on the board the Ragin' Cajuns put an end to the potential outcome of the afternoon contest as Oriol Fillat Gimenez and Karlo Kajin scored wins on Court 3 and Court 1, respectively.
Fillat Gimenez continues to be a driving force for head coach Luc Godin's squad as he posted his ninth consecutive win in singles play, improving to 10-1 at No. 3 singles.
In clinching the doubles point, the No. 1 tandem of Kajin and Alejandro Sanchez Gonzalez snapped a two-game losing streak and improved to 6-4 on the season.
