FROM THE COACHES
"Despite the hard fought loss, our team is getting better every match.  We came out strong in doubles and played smart, lights out tennis," assistant coach Yahsha Moore said.  "We carried the same energy in singles, unfortunately the match just didn't go our way.  They fought hard and left everything on the court.  The difference between the teams was a few points here and there, but we're going to learn from the adversity and come back stronger tomorrow." 

"I'm very happy with our effort and energy across the board," head coach Sheila Snyder said.  "The girls fought hard while battling through injuries.  These are the types of matches that will get us ready for the conference." 

UP NEXT
The Green and Gold will be back on the court tomorrow, with a match against Northwestern Ohio.  The match will begin at 2 PM.
