Louisiana claims doubles point before Panthers rally
LAFAYETTE — The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's tennis team claimed the doubles point as well as the opening set in three singles matches, but Georgia State rallied to defeat the Ragin' Cajuns 6-1 on Friday at Cajun Courts.
Louisiana (8-3), which has its eight-match win streak snapped, opened the day on a high note behind an energetic crowd. The senior duo of Eric Perez and Coleman Wahlborg improved to 2-1 at No. 1 doubles for the Cajuns, needing 21 minutes to earn a dominant 6-1 victory over Georgia State's Zackery Kennedy and Jannis Koeke.
The Ragin' Cajuns clinched the doubles point at No. 2 as the tandem of Jamie Fraser and Arthur Libaud earned their seventh straight victory with a 6-3 win over Georgia State's Sebastian Acuna and Andrei Andrukhou.
Louisiana claimed the opening set in singles matches at No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4, but Georgia State (6-4) would get straight-set wins from Jack McFarlane (No. 6) and Andrukhou (No. 3) to take a 2-1 lead. Acuna notched a straight-set victory at No. 5 singles for GSU before Kennedy, ranked No. 85 in the country, rallied for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 win over Libaud at No. 1.
Georgia State, which defeated then-No. 27 Florida State last month, closed out the match as Koeke and Quentin Coulaud claimed three-set victories.
Louisiana will return to action on Saturday (Feb. 18) when it faces UTSA in an 11 a.m. match. Admission to Ragin' Cajuns tennis matches is free.
