LAFAYETTE – With a trip to Corpus Christi, Texas the Ragin' Cajuns women's tennis team begins their 2017 fall season taking part in the Contender Crossfit Islander Open, which starts on Friday, Sept. 15 and goes through the weekend wrapping up on Sunday, Sept. 17.
The event will see the Cajuns taking on some solid Division I competition, including the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Lamar, Prairie View, the University of Texas at San Antonio, the University of the Incarnate Word and the host school Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
Louisiana enters the season having put together an 8-11 record last spring, but they held a solid 6-3 record in Lafayette and they return three seniors, one junior and two sophomores along with adding five freshmen to the mix.
