Lady Bulldog Netters Close Home Non-Conference Play Against UL-Lafayette
The Lady Bulldogs enter the week with a 2-3 record. MSU leads the series against the Ragin' Cajuns 13-1 all-time. In the last meeting, State claimed an 8-1 road win over then Southwestern Louisiana [Feb. 14, 1997] in head coach Tracy Lane 's first season at the helm.
UL-Lafayette comes into the match with a 6-0 record. UL heads to Oxford, Miss., to compete in a match against State's in-state rival Mississippi on Wednesday before heading to Starkville for Thursday's match.
"We have a big weekend coming up with two non-conference matches," said Lane. "Our goal is to head into conference play on a positive note. We need to work on winning more singles matches where players can gain confidence."
Following Thursday's match, the Lady Bulldogs travel to Birmingham, Ala., to compete versus UAB this Saturday, Feb. 24. The match against the Blazers is slated for noon.
