COACHES SUMMARY
"I was happy with out effort in singles.  All of the scores across the board were close, but it was a little too late.  Doubles hurt us for both teams.  We came out tight and couldn't really shake off the jitters.  I preach an attacking style, and we just didn't hit the gas today.  Effort has been outstanding in practice so hopefully this was all about nerves.  It's good to get a match under our belt and we look forward to playing some tough competition in South Carolina in a few weeks." - Head Coach Tom Battaglia

UP NEXT
Both teams travel to Myrtle Beach, SC for a March 9-13 spring break trip with both teams opening up on Monday, March 9. The Women's program will take on Cornell College while the men take on Baldwin Wallace University.
