Louisiana extends month-long win streak behind doubles point and singles sweep
LAFAYETTE - The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Tennis team claimed its eighth consecutive victory on Wednesday, March 18, defeating Southeastern Louisiana, 7-0, at Cajun Courts as its March homestand continued.
Louisiana (10-3) secured the doubles point and swept all six singles matches to extend its month-long win streak – the run of success dating back to February 14.
The Ragin' Cajuns claimed the early advantage in doubles with wins on Courts 2 and 3, rebounding after the Lions (9-4) opened with a win on Court 1.
The tandem of Angelique Berrat and Nina Krecklenberg posted a 6-3 victory, while Ana Martinez Vaquero and Rocio Navarro matched the score on Court 3 to clinch the point. Vaquero and Navarro erased a 3-2 deficit, wining the final two points after battling back to deuce.
UL carried that momentum into singles play, winning every match in straight sets or a match tiebreak.
Safia Zenbi delivered a dominant 6-1, 6-0 win on Court 2 to start singles, while Martinez Vaquero followed next with a 6-2, 6-2 result on Court 4 to expand the match advantage to 3-0. Berrat added a 6-1, 6-3 victory on the top court to clinch the match result.
Krecklenberg sealed another point with a 6-4, 6-3 decision at No. 6 singles. Navarro and Martina Della Gora each battled through match tiebreaks to complete the sweep and secure the 7-0 final.
Berrat (9-1) and Della Gora (8-1) extended their team-leading personal singles win streak to seven matches, while Vaquero picked up a sixth straight win and Zenbi won a fifth straight. The Ragin' Cajuns improved to 39-19 (.672) as a team in singles action.
Louisiana stretched its series win streak over SLU to seven matches, having now won each matchup with the Lions dating back to 2016.
