The Tigers’ season so far is practically a mirror image of how the team began last season.LSU started the 2008 season 5-0 before falling to Georgia. The team rebounded to defeat Kentucky and move to 6-1, 1-1.This season has had the same formula for the No. 11 Tigers (6-1, 1-1). LSU defeated Kentucky (1-2, 0-2) on Friday night, 196.575-195.225, after falling to Georgia last weekend despite posting a then-season high 195.950.”We came in [Kentucky] with great confidence, and we just wanted to be calm and collective,” said LSU senior Ashleigh Clare-Kearney.Senior Lauren Klein – who missed the Tigers’ first four meets because of an ankle injury – saw her first action since the NCAA Super Six on April 25.The Tigers will hit the road again next weekend to face No. 6 Auburn (2-2, 0-1) on Friday.——Contact Andy Schwehm at [email protected]
