The Ragin' Cajuns are seeking their first win at the conference championship since April 17, 2014, when it defeated WKU, 4-0, in New Orleans.

Lucie Raquin has also been strong for the Cajuns, overcoming injury to post a 6-6 record in singles action.

Georgia Southern owns a 12-10 overall record and finished the regular season with a 4-6 record in Sun Belt play.

The two teams met in Statesboro on March 27, a match the Eagles won by a final score of 4-2. Urchoeguia and Yoshimura each won their respective singles matches to secure the points for Louisiana.
