"Tough match today," said head coach
Dustin Hinson. "Congratulations to NAU on another regular season title, they played well. We really battled tough today and we were in every match, but it just wasn't enough. It hurts to come up short in this one but we discussed how we are going to use this pain to grow and get stronger for the conference tournament. We are really motivated to fight back stronger in Phoenix this next week. I'm really proud of the season we have put in so far, but it's a long way from being done."
"I was really impressed with
Rylee Braeden's tennis today. Her and
Madeline Lamoreaux continued their awesome doubles play and then Braeden battled tough to gut out that singles win to go 4-0 on the weekend."
