STARKVILLE, Miss. – Kelly Drew and Lucile Delabarre built an early 3-1 lead at No. 1 doubles against the eighth-ranked tandem of Jasmine Lee and Lisa Marie Rioux, but the Bulldogs rallied for a 6-3 win to help lift No. 24-ranked Mississippi State to a 7-0 win over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's tennis team on Saturday at the A.J.

The Bulldogs clinched the match at No. 4 singles when Anastasia Rentouli picked up a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Louisiana's Abby Johnson. Rioux earned a 6-4, 6-3 win over Kelly Drew at No. 3 before Madison Harrison posted a 6-4, 6-3 win over Alexandra Way at No. 2.
