"This was an exciting college tennis match," Head Coach Billy Boykin said. "We saw lead changes, matches that went the distance, and some courageous play by all involved. I really feel for our team. They played so hard, left everything out on the court. I am incredibly proud of their efforts. We came up a little short today, but this group is resilient. We will keep working, keep improving."
