From the Coach
"We competed well today in singles but it wasn't good enough to overcome WVU," said head coach
Jamie Peterson. "They are in the Big 12 and compete well against several top-20 teams in their conference. We almost pulled out a couple of wins and had lots of tight second sets. Now comes the most important part of the season where we have eight of the last nine matches at home, as well as three conference games, which will have a big influence on seeding at the conference tournament."
