2015 Sun Belt Conference Championship Central

New Orleans, La. – The Georgia Southern Men's Tennis Team opening round match against University of Louisiana-Lafayette will be the 2nd time the teams have met in just 2 weeks.  The Sun Belt Conference defending champion Ragin' Cajuns were defeated by the Eagles on April 3rd by a 4-3 margin.  By virtue of that head-to-head victory, the Eagles earned the No. 4 seed in the tournament.  

The road to the finals will not be easy for the Eagles, however, as they challenge the defending champions in the opening round, and if they win, will then need to get past No. 1 seed Troy University in the semi-finals.

A champion will be crowed Sunday as the six teams competing will be whittled down to just one.

Coach Koning's Thoughts
"We have worked our way towards this tournament this season.  I told the guys from the beginning this is why we play the game.  We have to be excited for the tough battles ahead.  I believe the result of the match will come down to which team can stay in the process under pressure the longest."
