FROM COACH MORROW
"We went up 3-1 in the match, and it came down to two three setters at No. 4 and No. 6 singles.  Unfortunately, we didn't pull through.  They're a very good team.  Best team we've played all year.  They're No. 1 in the region for a reason," coach Bryan Morrow said. 

UP NEXT
The Green and Gold won't have much time to rest, as another strong foe is up next.  The Warriors are set to play Southern Indiana at 11 AM on March 6.  The match will be played at the UIndy Tennis Center.
