From the Coach
"We had a tough weekend in Charleston," said head coach Jamie Peterson. "We had a win in doubles against College of Charleston and were a little overwhelmed in singles. We came back in the afternoon and competed well against S.C. State, but we lost a doubles point we should have won. Jessica Assenmacher and Themis Haliou played great together, Themis played great and won straight sets. We fought hard and unfortunately lost the clinching match in 6-4 in the third. We saw a good chance of Jessica and Sarah Pospischill winning their respective matches but they were stopped due to the match being clinched."
