It took exactly one year for the Lady Cajuns of Louisiana tennis team to win a match. On April 13, 2002, UL defeated Southern Miss 4-0 in Hattiesburg, Miss. Then, the losing streak began. The Cajuns endured a 15-match losing streak before getting back in the win column. The Lady Cajuns knocked off Southern University 4-1 on April 13 on this year.

Louisiana (1-12) enters the 19th Annual Sun Belt Conference Tournament as the No .11 seed. The Cajuns will face No. 6 Florida International (5-12). UL's lone win is the fewest wins for the program since 1988 when then-USL won only two matches (2-10). The Golden Panthers hold a 3-0 edge in the series with the Lady Cajuns.

In last season’s SBC Championships, Louisiana dropped both matches, a 4-1 decision to Arkansas-Little Rock in the first round and a 4-2 decision to North Texas in the Ninth Place match.

Louisiana’s Lady Cajuns will face the FIU Golden Panthers at 8 a.m. on Friday at the Mobile Tennis Center.
