Head Coach Jay Bruner
"We had chances today but got out competed at the beginning of singles and could not get enough momentum. It's good for us to try indoors for the first time of the year to be prepared just incase it happens in the conference tournament. I am proud that the boys grabbed the doubles point today. That will help us as we continue to work on the first point."
