Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"First off, we had a great time celebrating our seniors before the match and we're grateful for all that they've done for ACU tennis. As far as the match goes, it was a really tough day. We started well by getting the doubles point, but Vittoria going down in singles really stopped our momentum and just put a dampener on the energy that we had. It was a tough moment for everyone and by the end of the day the final result really wasn't on anyone's mind. The girls have been through so much adversity this year and this is just the latest incident in a long line of them, but no one is giving up and we'll do everything we can to put our best foot forward for the GSAC tournament in a couple weeks."
