ORLANDO - The 41st-ranked Louisiana-Lafayette men's tennis team posted a 5-2 victory over UCF at the UCF Tennis Complex on Sunday afternoon. With the loss, the Golden Knights fall to 7-4 this season.
The Ragin' Cajuns (6-2) won four singles matches and opened the contest by taking the doubles points. UCF lost a pair of singles matches in the third set.
"We had so many opportunities today and we just did not finish," said UCF head coach Bobby Cashman. "We played very poorly in doubles and you just cannot do that and expect to win against a team like Louisiana-Lafayette."
At the No. 3 singles position, UCF junior Sebastian Delgado took a 6-4, 6-2 victory against Dusan Tabak. Sophomore Sinan Sudas held on at No. 1 for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 win versus Amanjot Singh.
The Golden Knights were playing a nationally-ranked opponent for the second-consecutive match. The squad played No. 46 Penn on Tuesday.
In doubles play, the UCF freshman tandem of Jimmy Roesch and Brock Sakey defeated Tabak and Arlen Domoney, 8-4, at No. 3.
UCF returns to action on Monday, traveling to Tampa to face in-state rival USF at 2 p.m.
