It's the first time Louisiana and SMU meet since a March 2014 matchup at the H-E-B Tournament of Champions in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Newcomers Nikola Kolyachev (Indiana transfer) and David Simeonov (UIndy transfer) led UL in singles during opening weekend, the duo accounting for three of the four singles triumphs. Kolyachev was triumphant both times on Court 6 and the two were the first to finish vs. FGCU providing Louisiana a commanding 3-0 lead in the season opener.
The Ragin' Cajuns found success on all three courts in doubles action last weekend in Orlando, each pair winning at least once. Doubles No.1 tandem Mason Landreth and Leonard Tramolay closed within 5-4 against UCF as Louisiana challenged the nationally ranked Knights for the doubles point.
SMU (1-1) split its season opener doubleheader with a 6-1 win over Lamar after falling 5-2 to No. 7 Mississippi State on January 10 at the Styslinger/Altec Tennis Complex. Jerry Barton was named ACC Player of the Week after his win over Mississippi State's No. 34-ranked singles player.
