ABOUT LOUISIANA
Louisiana has its entire roster intact from the remarkable run last season that produced a 17-win season which included winning the prestigious H-E-B Tournament of Champions, rolling off a 14-match win streak and being ranked in the final ITA poll of the spring 2022 dual match season. The team's No. 1 doubles tandem of Karlo Kajin and Alejandro Sanchez Gonzalez entered the season in the Top 30 of the ITA's doubles rankings.
The Ragin' Cajuns (2-3) recently completed a rigid, season-opening, five-match road stretch that saw the team face an opponent that was ranked in the ITA's final 2022 poll each time out. The list of formidable foes included Texas Tech (No. 41), Portland (No. 74), Washington (No. 39), Tennessee (No. 6) and Charlotte (No. 48).
Last weekend the team concluded the January journey with an appearance at the prestigious ITA Kickoff Weekend, ending on a high note with a resounding 4-0 sweep of Charlotte by claiming the doubles point and keeping the pressure on with wins in the first set on every singles court. Early leaders for the Ragin' Cajuns include Kajin who is off to a 4-1 start in singles and senior Kacper Dworak (3-1) who brings a personal three-game win streak into the Louisiana Winter Classic.
