Troy then hosted the Ragin' Cajuns for senior day, winning 4-2. It was a perfect outing for the seniors, with Franziska Ahrend and Andrea Widing leading the way. Ahrend swept her competition in singles, winning 6-4, 6-3, as both seniors finished the day undefeated at 3-0.
Red Wolves' Woes
Arkansas State has struggled this season, only winning one match thus far. The Red Wolves began the season in January with a 7-0 loss at Mississippi State.
The Red Wolves' lone victory came against Arkansas Tech. in late February, winning 5-2.
A bright spot for the Red Wolves this season has been the duo of Anna Borovinskaya and Rebecca Brody. The pair have posted a 2-1 record in doubles teams this season.
Grounded Warhawks
Like the Red Wolves, the 2023 season has been a struggle for ULM. The Warhawks started the season with back-to-back 4-0 defeats at the hands of Louisiana State.
The Warhawks bounced back after the defeat at LSU, winning 4-3 against Missouri State. However, ULM has been victorious only twice since then, defeating Stephen F. Austin 4-3 and Arkansas State 6-1.
Alice Klinteby is 2-0 in singles play, as she is the only unbeaten Warhawk. In doubles teams, Angela Del Campo and Alessandra Anghel have seen some success with a 3-2 record.
