Thoughts From Coach:

"This one will definitely sting for a while.  We played exceptional doubles matches, probably the best we've played all year - so I was really happy with that.  Every singles match was a battle.  Unfortunately we just came up short in four of them, but we definitely had more than enough opportunities to get the win.  We'll regroup and learn from it, and hopefully we won't find ourselves in this position again."
