Tiger Tidbits
The River Oaks Invitational is the first ITA-sanctioned tournament of the fall campaign for the LSU women’s tennis team and the first chance for the athletes to compete against other schools since arriving on campus in August.
Three players are set to compete in their first tournaments as Tigers. Junior Florentine Dekkers transferred to LSU after two seasons of competition at Kansas State, where she played at the top singles and doubles courts.
Two freshmen are slated to make their collegiate debuts this weekend. Kinaa Graham, a native of Austin, Texas, will make her collegiate debut in her home state. Graham was a blue-chip recruit in the class of 2023, rising as high as No. 3 in tennisrecruiting.net’s class ranking, and was the top recruit out of the state of Texas. Fellow freshman and Texas native Carina Holguin is also slated for her collegiate debut.
