From the Coach
"We came very close to a very solid win today," said head coach Jamie Peterson. "We lost the doubles point and got a slow start in singles. We came back and competed very hard, but fell a little short. We continue to head in the right direction but need to improve our mentality, aggressiveness and confidence."
